PacNor are available from a few local suppliers. Track them down and ask for a quote on a pre-fit.

I'd hazard a guess that since everyone wants their profit, your better off sourcing a Maddco or TSE and having it set-up and supplied. You should automatically have zero fitting costs ... but some gunsmiths wont supply because of that exact reason, plus because they don't want their name linked to a kaboom if set-up wrong. :wink:

Being a Savage ... look into sourcing a Ruger 204R barrel and then shunting and rethreading/rechambering as that may also be cost-effective ... but again the sellers want their pound of flesh to supply a factory Ruger barrel. :lol: :lol:

Just cant win ... pay your money and build using a Maddco.
Cheers...
