[QUOTE="1894C, post: 1954183, member: 114886"] #5 “Douglass countour” used by krieger hart etc or the very similar bartlein “3b” contour. Better than a sendero contour as more meat of the barrel is closer to the action and less out near the crown. Sendero contour does one very steep dive then runs a very slight taper to the crown @ .830” @ 26” and a sendero contour (also known as Remington varmint) weighs in around 4.5lbs unchambered. This makes it heavy on the crown end and they don’t balance well. A number 5 weighs a little less but puts the wear where it needs to be for the rifle to balance well and lessens barrel whip. A #5 weighs around 4 lbs unchambered and has a muzzle dia of .700” @ 26”. [/QUOTE]
