You could get a Lilja barrel with a (Maxim) bolt as well. Lilja barrels are $500 and the bolt is and extra $80. The Noveske at $555 will likely be less accurate than the Lilja. I have the impression that Noveske cultivates their brand image which of course means they charge as much money as the fan-boys are prepared to pay.
Shilen also has two Grendel drop-in barrel profiles on their website. They come with a headspaced bolt for $500 all-up. Shilen is another maker with a good reputation.
