  "Junk" barrel makers, E.R.Shaw, Adams & Bennet
  Decent barrels by, Wilson, Douglas
  Quality barrels by, Pac-Nor, Shilen, Lija, Lother-Walther etc.
  Premimum barrels by, Kreiger, Hart, McMillen etc.
  Check out the choices at Midway and Brownells.
  
  Others will jump in with more names/links, but that should get you started.
  With barrels you get what you pay for, and your gunsmiths labor bill is about the same to install a "junk" barrel as it is a "premimum" barrel.

  Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.

  Several of them are on line. Use google or other search and put in "rifle barrels" I have come up with Lilja and several others. I went with a "junk" Shaw barrel and it shoots moa.

  Ditto on the ER Shaw "junk" barrel. I have three and they all keep up with my Wilson, Shilen and Dougles barrels in every reguard except for price. Also Shaw's will do much of the required gunsmithing on the metal work for very reasonable prices. Their turn around time isn't the greastest but what can you expect with there considerable work load.

  A friend will post your bail. A good friend will be sitting next to you in the cell saying, "man that was fun!"
