I think part of it depends on what barrel maker you want and for what action. The ones I have looked for are only about $75 more for a shouldered prefit.
I've never seen them that cheap, but I usually buy higher end barrel's. The last shouldered barrel I bought was a cut rifled Rock Creek and it was $750. The Kreiger and Bartlein barrel's I've bought in the past were around the same price.
Most pre-fit barrel nut style barrel's will run anywhere from $179 - $450 depending on the brand.
ARC Nucleus 2.0 with shouldered Rock Creek barrel
ARC Archimedes with X-Caliber barrel / nut
ARC Nucleus 1.0 with ARC BarLoc nut and X-Caliber barrel
Shilen DRG with Shilen select match barrel / nut
Plus a crap load of Savage and Remington action's that I've rebarreled for myself and friend's over the years using pre-fit barrel's and barrel nut's.
