I also buy quite a bit of stuff from MidwayUSA but never an Encore or Contender barrel because, in my opinion, Midway's prices on barrels are a bit high.
For more economical barrels, try gunbroker.com or manventureoutpost.com. In addition, before you buy, price a custom barrel from Match Grade Machine.
There is also another T/C rebate program for $50 back if you purchase a new T/C barrel running from August through November.
