[QUOTE="Agunner012, post: 104661, member: 1500"] However, a lot will depend on what contour the barrel is. What is the mftr? Breach diameter? Length of the straight from breach to start of taper? Muzzle diameter? Blank weight? BH [/ QUOTE ] It’s a BURX barrel MTU taper is what they called it, at the breech it’s 1.250 tapers down to .930 at the muzzle. Not sure of the exact weight, shipping weight was 10 lbs. 4 Groove cut rifled barrel. Total time was about 2 weeks to get. They were great guys to do business with. The visual quality is as good as any other custom barrel we have. It will be a while before we build something with it, so a range report is still a while off [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. We spec'ed for it to finish at 30" originally, but were plesantly surprised to see the actual length 34". They told us to take the usual 1" off the barrel when finishing it, so we have the option to go to 33" as a finished length. Most likely a barrel block would be used, I was wondering what the best length would be for a 7mm WSM, weight not being an issue. Again thanks! [/QUOTE]
