Sure they would for nearly $500 and a 16 week wait. Again the point is to maybe get a prefit dealer to consider stocking sporter weight barrels in something like an 8 twist 6XC or Creedmoor for those of us bored by a 10 twist .243 Win.
Hmmm, I just went online and what did they have for $345 but a 8 twist 6.5 CM in a ultralightweight sporter at 22 inches.

Here's some of their contours.
