I purchased a pre-fit stainless 26" sporter style for my Savage 111 7mm RM from the "Barrelman." I called him, and he asked me some questions over the phone to fit my needs. I ended up with a 1:9 based on the bullets I was going to shoot. My gun smith said it was a great fit, and it took only 2 shots to ensure it was properly head spaced and fitted correctly. It's still in the break in process, but I'm very pleased with the accuracy. I can tell already it's an upgrade.---The pre-fit worked for me, and fit my budget. I'd do it again from the Barrelman. Took about 1 month for my make and model. The Xcaliber barrel shipped from the vendor, I think, in Utah. Cost of the barrel & shipping was $325.

Hope this helps.
