[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 812406, member: 22069"] 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. [/QUOTE]
