[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1498223, member: 2736"] All you can do is compare profiles from one maker to another. Look at the shank size, then the mid point size. and last the muzzle diameter at the length you want or the dimension given at the furnished dimension. Normally each manufacture has his own contour numbers on a chart for ease of sizing. Some even have factory contours available if you just want to keep the same contour as the rifle had from the factory. Most blanks come in lengths that finish to a certain length. (Like a 26'' finish length will be 27'' from the maker allowing for trimming and crowning, if you cut it to 22'' the muzzle will be larger buy the taper/per inch. Use the barrel you have for a reference and add or subtract dimensions from it and then look for a profile/contour that closely matches your numbers. PS: I would recommend a #4 or a #5 Lilja contour for the 280. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
