G'Day Fella's,
Kaizer2007, this is a difficult question to answer here as Savage make their own barrels (to the best of my knowledge). Given this, they would be the best people to answer your questions (re; barrel steel type and steel manufacturer/supplier etc).
Personally, I can't see any reason why their barrels wouldn't be capable of coping with the conditions in the Ukraine or other hostile environments on the planet (with appropriate protection and care by the owner/user)!

Hi.
Savage for making of barrels Savage 111G 300WM. steel is used Jorgenson 4140.
P.S.
Jorgenson Steel 4140.

This chromium molybdenum alloy is a deep hardening steel used where strength
and impact toughness are required. It has high fatigue strength making it suitable
for critical stressed applications at normal as well as elevated temperatures. For
increased resistance to wear and abrasion, it may be nitrided.
This grade is a quality product melted under the best of steelmaking practices for
aircraft quality steels. It is vacuum degassed to meet the magnetic particle inspection
standards of AMS 2301.

APPlicAtionS - Intended for general use for parts with sections 1/2" or less in
thickness at time of heat treatment which require a through-hardening steel capable
of developing hardness as high as Rockwell "C" 50; also for fittings and forgings of
greater hardness or variation in thickness at proportionately lower hardness. It is frequently used in applications in which 8640 is specified.
HArdenABility - End-quench hardenability values for this grade are Rockwell
"C" 50 minimum at 6/16" and Rockwell "C" 44 minimum at 9/16".
