good source for .223 pencil barrel?

Hi all,
With all the work I'm going to be doing to my little savage 24 in the near future, I'm really considering rechambering it from .222 to .223. The existing barrel is a 1:14" twist barrel and won't stabilize any but the lightest .223 rounds so doing the job right will mean a barrel swap.

I don't know diddly about most of the .223 chambered rifles, but have heard over and over that barrels are relatively inexpensive... Can anyone point me towards a supplier that carries a good variety of .223 specific (meaning already chambered so I don't have to buy a reamer) barrels so I can check to see if I can find one that suits my needs?

Thanks
