[QUOTE="Bbear, post: 1181501, member: 7898"] - Personal opinion only => contour may vary based upon finished barrel length. For an 18" barrel to still be portable, you might get away with something in the varmint or larger diameter. For a 26" barrel, to stay within whatever weight the OP wants, they might be limited to a #3 or maybe even a #2 and still stay within the weight/accuracy limitations. For the shorter barrel length, I'd think something in a #4 or #5/Sendero size would be good. For the longer barrels, he might stick with a #3. Not a 'pro' by any means and only a few barrels to my name, I've stuck with 22"-26" in #3 as my compromise. [/QUOTE]
