7mm barrel

What good but not BR grade barrel, to be chambered in 7x57 should I buy. My LGS will taper it and chamber if I buy half of the reamer. It's to go on a Mauser. I've got the action, stock, etc. Just need a source and an idea on price for the barrel. Is $350 in the ball park?
Concealed carry is for protection, open carry is for attention.

Contoured (#5130 might fit your needs.):

It's not a 7mm, but if I can do that with a short .458, I have to assume a 7mm can do at least as good without much effort.
Have you considered installing a blued metal "Schnabel" tip to the stock? "Butter knife" bolt handle?
still need to blue the barrel.
