Harro,
Most of the barrels I've grabbed locally as take-offs. Prior to their cancellation from production (or importation) ... I also bought an Adams&Bennett Savage pre-fit in 358Win and docked it at 20". Now ... I buy Adams&Bennett barrels and have a gunsmith chamber/thread/blue for $180. So about $330 total. This gunsmith lets me fit them at home.

Here's how the 6x45 A&B barrel shoots ... no load development, no bedding, no tuning.
