Brux barrels ( but they are probably close to every one elses) #4 or #5 taper would resemble a FACTORY Remington barrel in say 280 or 270 caliber??
#4...#5...?? Which taper?

A #4 is close to a factory Remington magnum barrel.

A factory contour barrel is closer to a #2 contour. A factory magnum contour is closer to a #3 contour barrel. A Remington factory varmint or Sendero barrel is closer to a #6 or #7 contour. A #4 or #5 contour barrel is heavier than a factory magnum contour and just a bit lighter than a factory varmint contour. Look closely at the weight given for each barrel contour and that should give you a pretty good idea of how big the difference between contours is.
I have three rifles that wear #4 contour barrels. It is a nice compromise between a sporter and a varmint contour.

I think a #2 is a standard sporter contour, this should be really close. It will probably have more of a straight section at the chamber end than the factory rem. Mcgowen barrels lists a factory rem barrel on their contours page, listed weight is only 2lbs.
I have a fluted #5 (weighs about the same same as unfluted #4). It added about 1 lb from the factory barrel which was a magnum (I think they are about a #3).

Benchracer, we were typing about the same thing at the same time. Sorry for the repeat.

The Brux couture is very close to Browning A Bolt barrel.
My current build is a Brux #3 on a Remmy long action in a laminated stock cut for a factory Remmy barrel. The #3 Brux would not even start to fill up the Remmy barrel cut stock, if I wanted to make the recoil lug cut where Remmy does, right at the shoulder.
The #4 Douglas profile that I have on my Browning would not fill up the Remmy barrel cut either.
So I had to push the barrel shoulder out 2 inches from the recoil lug to give me enough meat to fill up the barrel cut in the stock.
Southern precision said that if I wanted a Remmy profile, I should order one.
So you could call them if you want your finished rifle to resemble a Factory Remmy.
Otherwise a #3, #4, or #5 can be made to work.
