The only company I know of in the US which offers quality barrels prefit to Sako 579 action, with avaiable fast twists , and chambering in 300/221 (aka 300 Whisper). is Pac-Nor. See
www.pac-nor.com. Their methhod of prefitting just expects a light cut on the length of the barrel shank to set the headspace. With wildcat cartdges that's not always required. If you send them a dummy cartrige (bullet and case but no powder or primer they set the throat to your request. Whether they'll ship to Iceland is the question. If they don't it's not their fault. The US has become tight on their export rules and manufacturer export licenses. It doesn't cost anything to send them an email and ask.
