What are you guys with 28 Noslers using for barrel contours? I am looking at shooting the 195 Berger and have decided in a 26" tube in either a #4 or #5 Krieger contour but can't decide on which contour.

Decide on an end goal total weight then choose the proper contour.

How much do you figure for the other parts?

Good to know the # 4 Brux is one I have been looking at. Do you know the weight of the complete rifle?

The rifle weighs 10lbs 2oz with a 6-24x50mm Vortex PST Gen I. The Barrel is Brux #4 with Intermittent fluting, the action is Stiller Predator, HS Precision DBM, McMillan A3 Sporter stock and I have added a Bradley Adjustable Cheek rest and military style adjustable sling that is included in the weight of the rifle.

What other parts are you wanting to use? Ti action? MRC action? Rem 700? Carbon fiber stock?
If you are wanting a Stainless Steel barrel, that decision will be easy. Krieger won't make a SS 7mm barrel in a #4 contour.

I used a #3 SS Fluted Benchmark 26" long and a brake on top of that and its slight barrel heavy, so really depends on how your going to use it in which contour to go with, I don't see the need to go any heavier than that, just makes the rifle impractical

I just built a 6.5 saum with a #5. I think it's the perfect balance for weight. You can always have it fluted later if you feel it's heavier than you wanted.

Remington 700 action. The fancy ones are a little out of my price range. I have access where I don't have to send the action out for truing.

Do you guys ever get the idea you should build 2 or 3 of everything in different configurations
