[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1222634, member: 5219"] Either shank diameter will work on your action. A barrel with a shank diameter of 1.2'' typically is a sporter weight barrel, a 1.25'' diameter shank barrel is often called varmint profile or heavier. If you intend to use the same stock and don't want to open it up or fill it in, you should measure the existing barrel shank and use that as your guide. The person doing the rebarreling can remove some of the shank length or turn down the diameter to match the stock's barrel channel. If you want to duplicate the existing barrel profile the manufacturers have charts for comparisons. Look at the barrel length and muzzle diameters too. Here are two examples: Lilja: [url=http://riflebarrels.com/barrel-contour-data/]Lilja Barrel Contour Data - Lilja[/url] Bartlein: [url=http://www.bartleinbarrels.com/contours.htm]Bartlein Barrels, Inc. - Contours[/url] [/QUOTE]
