[QUOTE="Imho, post: 493311, member: 32070"] Awesome. Thanks for the help guys. I think I'm on the right track with my thinking in terms of the contour range. I'll consider a custom contour too. The two I standard contours I was looking at were: #4 - 1.240" for 2.5" -> 0.840" at 7.5" -> 0.650" at 26" (no weight given for the #4); or #5 - 1.240" for 2.5" -> 0.900" at 7.5" -> 0.700" at 26" (4.5lb) Without the weight for the #4 it's a bit hard gauge if these barrels fall in a similar weight range to yours Kevin. Unfortunately the tyranny of distance would prevent me from having you do the work. I'm not really looking to save ounces. Hopefully the difference between the #4 and #5 in weight would be ounces, same as 24" versus 26". It all adds up I guess, and I would have to think about carrying more than 1-1.5 pounds more than my 24" standard barrel. [/QUOTE]
