[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 479558, member: 2736"] On sporter stocks any material removed will weaken the stock because of its already narrow forend and the weight of a heavy barrel will only increase the problem. I don't like to remove any more than I have to and for looks 1/16" on the top edge of the barrel channel is the least I will leave on each side. The Varmint stocks can Handel almost any barrel contour/Taper. I have placed #7 and #8 straight tapers on the sendero stocks with good results and without removing to much material weakening the fore end to much for a bipod. The best looking barrel for the Sendero stocks IMO is the #8 contour Lilja or it's equivalent. With contours you don't have to remove as much material from the stock because of it's shape. Straight tapers (Not cylinders/bull barrels) are heaver and the straight taper requires more material removal in the fore end. I normally recommend the heavy contours for this reason over the heavy straight tapers. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
