[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 493294, member: 2215"] Each barrel mfg. has their own contour designations. From one to other they're close but not exactly the same. I install a lot of Brux barrels which uses Kreiger barrels contour page. I do several lighter long range rifles that are build off of a Brux #4 contour. It has a 1.250" breech diameter straight for 2.750" then Douglas taper to .900" 6" from the breech then straight taper down to .670" with a finished length of 26". It weighs in raw at 3 1/2 lbs. You can modify the contour to your specifications at no extra charge. A 24" - 26" is no huge deal. Most long range shooters are trying to get as much velocity and accuracy so they primarily use a longer barrel. A 24" in a 300 Win Mag would work just fine for shots out to 800 yards with the right bullet combination but 26" would give you a bit more edge, but not absolutely necessary. I would shoot for as small of a moa as you can and not settle with 3/4 moa. 3/4 moa is OK but 1/2 moa is better. Let me know if you need any help with your build. [/QUOTE]
