[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 996515, member: 55230"] I wonder which contour is stiffest at a given length and/or weight? I'm in the same situation. I was planning on a medium 24" palma, maybe flutted. The nice thing about the palma is the 5" of shank to set back on. But w/ all that weight on the back end leaves the barrel w/ less material to "whip". BUT... taking up that much real estate actually shortens the barrel a few inches making it stiffer. For example using Bartlein contours. A sendero C measures 4.35" making a 24" barrel 19.65" VS Med palma C measures 5.5" making the 24" barrel 18.5".... Or is the straight taper best? Does this matter for a hunting rig? doubtful, but what if you want to long range plink w/ said rifle? Which is what I'm working on. I'd like to string some shots and not worry, yet it wouldn't be a competition length string of shots. Is there any experiments similar to the one w/ the weights and fluting? I'd be very interested to see. Surely there is an optimal choice. [/QUOTE]
