[QUOTE="CTK, post: 1933408, member: 103842"] I have always agonized over barrel contours for builds. My 6.5x47 with a 23” Bartlein 2b, Big Horn SR2 action, McM Hunter stock with edge fill came in a tic over 7 lbs, if I remember correctly. Have an almost identical spec 280ai being built right now. without a doubt a Bartlein #3 or 3b would be much easier to dial in. I had a Borden 280ai with a #3 24“ Hart barrel and Remington Classic edge fill stock think it weighed 7lbs 4ish oz. bare. I like the 2b Bartlein contour on sporter rifles. A #3 Bartlein in a light stock is nose heavy. My 6.5x47 is very accurate despite the 2b barrel. [/QUOTE]
