I changed pencil barrel from model 11 Savage to 26" heavy varmint barrel by Criterion Criterion Barrels, Inc. and I absolutely love it, it can make head shot on grasshopper 100 yards away, I also changed barrel on my 12 LRPV great result vs factory Savage barrel Savage LRPV Saga — When A Barrel Upgrade Is The Only Solution « Daily Bulletin

One of our Sponsors "SIN Arms" makes prefit Savage barrels as well. I'm awaiting a quote from him right now. I've also heard good things about the Criterion but have never shot one.

I have a Benchmark on order, but McGowen, Shilen and a lot of others make barrels for savage

Fred at 4D reamers carries CBI (critereon) and McGowen.
Jimm Briggs carries CBI, McGowen, and Shilen.
Sharp Shooters Supply carries Brux and Douglas.
Sin arms carries Lothar Walter, and I believe McGowen and Bartlien.
I have used CBI, McGowen, Brux, Shilen, Lilja, Benchmark, and Rock Creek. Out of those I found Shilen to be the worst. Jim usually keeps a good selection of CBIs in stock. Fred at 4D has the best reamer selection and will also chamber any barrel make of your choice for a decent price. I recommend staying away from Shilen, Adams and Bennet, Green Mountain, ER Shaw, etc. They are typically hit and miss, every now and then you will get one that's a shooter but usually not the case.

+1 on the criterion, I have one on a 116 in 300 win mag and it shoots lights out, also have another one on order from criterion that is gonna be a 6.5WSM it should be here in the next few weeks and I can't wait. They are a GREAT barrel for the money.
