Sako A7 Re-barrel

Hey I’m pretty green on having a gun built or even changing a barrel. Not sure if this has been discussed or not. I just got my first CAN, the TBAC Magnus. So now every gun I own is forever long. I typically hunt out of a box blind and would prefer a much shorter option. Which is why I’m considering changing the barrel if possible. I have considered cutting the barrel down and threading but I feel like that would look weird with a fluted barrel. It wouldn’t look well finished, at least not when I imagine it.

I have a couple Sako A7 Stainless/synthetic with “roughtech “ stock. 24.25" fluted stainless barrels. .300 win mag and a Sako A7 Tecomate .270 WSM.

I think I would like to change my barrel out to a shorter carbon fiber proof research style barrel. Like 18” preferably just in .300 win mag. My .270wsm is freaking awesome.

1. Does anybody make a barrel that will work with my action and stock?

2. Is this something that has to be custom fit to the action?
-If so, who does that?

Thanks in advance.
