I'm confident they'll sell very well.
At least for the Savage market, I don't think there are any web-based stores that will spin you up a Bart/Krieger pre-fit barrel direct from a web form; from what I've come across, if you want a "premium" blank used today, you'll be buying the blank and taking it to a smith. That's admittedly more work than I want to put into a Savage, but I'll fill out some drop-downs and hit "confirm order" no problem. I'd bet the well constructed web store-front is half the reason the McGowen outlet does so well.
550 to 600 when I can get a Shilen stainless select match for 370. I know I'm missing somethingGoing to be about $550 to $600 with a Craddock nut and wrench included.

43.0 wasn't too shabby eitherLookin' good!
More pre-fits are always fun![]()
A typical chambering job by any gunsmith that is worth a crap is going to cost between $300 and $600 plus the price of a blank.
A Bartlein blank costs $375, that's before you ever cut on it.

So, you can do that math. It's pretty simple.
Craddock does every chamber by hand.
That's a really good looking gun. I like it. What level of precision are you looking for? I'm curious because I'm trying to wrap my head around the whole pre-fit vs custom thing. I'm assuming the pre-fit is attractive due to a faster turn around time than using a gunsmith? I'm looking to educate myself why someone would choose that method over the other. Thanks.
