They occasionally show up.
Otherwise give Jim at Apache Gun Works a call, he can build what you're looking for at a very reasonable price.
I am rebuilding my plastic stock 110 with a Boyds black laminate stock. I am trying to find a bull barrel for it. I suppose I can have my smith take a blank and machine it but I would like to know if anybody out there knows if anyone sells a bull barrel for the 110 in 30-06 caliber? Would it be worth savings? my smith says new barrel installed, all metal re-blued from$500, then goes up from there, muzzle break, fluting, ss, etc. Factory barrel still has life but I was thinking more bench than sporter.

Try northland shooters supply and have him order one. I would think a heavy varmint would be a lot lighter but stiff as a railroad track.
Willing to give back for what the sport has done for me!
I find that a 26" Heavy Varmint has all the "beef" that I need :-)
What "Hotolds442" said, and if your willing and able you can swap the barrel yourself.
Having ordered a couple barrels from Numerich gun parts and a couple from Apache gun works.
I would just go straight to Jim at Apache or Jim at northland.......do not pass go do not collect $200.
Once you have a savage prefit barrel...... installation is easy, fast and simple.
Spend $75 bucks on the tools and be set forever or pay a pro a lot less than that to slap it on for you.
I am not up to speed on bluing costs because duracoate cost's about $35 to do ten barrels, but $500 is allot more than I would spend to re-barrel.
...or become a paid member so you can browse the for sale ads in the classifieds.
And don't forget Gun Shack.
Good folks to deal with.

PS - After you order it have it sent direct to Jim at Apache. He'll hook you up on the threading. I had him do a few barrels and he's "the Man" to do your barrel.
Muzzle break?
Cheap, nice quality and fast -

You may want one of those sexy looking high priced breaks but for the 45 bucks he charges his breaks work. I use them on all my heavy hitters. Don't forget some timing shims from Brownell's.

It's cheaper to assemble it yourself & time the break after assembly.
At least it was for me.

'Scuse me while I whip this out...!
OP, I would start with either of the Jims (Apache or NSS). McGowan and Sin-Arms seem to get good reviews as well.
For what it's worth, your smith's quote is not out of line. Chamber, thread, contour, and re-blue a barrel blank is a goodly amount of shop time. It's just unnecessary with a Savage. If you have a modicum of mechanical skill, and a little bit of patience, you can do a barrel swap at home.
