I'm going to buy a match barrel for my Savage 110. Itll be 7mmRM with a 9 twist. I've done this before, but always with a heavy sporter or varmint contour. I've always bought Shilen, but this one might be a Criterion sporter.
Assuming the barrel I receive is made correctly from the manufacturer (ie, it's not a lemon), is there any likely difference in accuracy because of the contour? Will one likely be more picky with finding an accurate load just because of contour?
I've researched this and find conflicting info and was hoping for input here before making my purchase. I'm building a rifle for a likely CO elk hunting trip later this year, so weight is a concern.
