[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 674065, member: 13833"] Welcome to the forum! For what you are considering, a Sendero contour at 26" should serve you very well. This will put you in the 9 lb. area. If you want a little lighter but still have some meat in the barrel, you could go with a 5 or 6 contour. If you go online to any of the good barrel makers, you can find specs on various weights. I have a 4 groove Krieger in a Sendero on my new build which shoots sub .1 moa. I have also had Lilja, and Bartlein barrels which are very good and there are several other good ones out there. It is very important that the action/barrel fit is square or this can negate a good barrel. As far as crown, there are several options which are primarily personal preference. Fluting will save you around 1/2 lb. on a Sendero contour of 26" and cools a little better than standard. They also look rather cool! Good luck with your build.......Rich [/QUOTE]
