[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1321994, member: 78569"] From Proof Research's website, lance's weights are spot on. An equivalent contour barrel would be something like the Remington Varmint which weights about 4.5 lbs. So about 1.5 lbs of weight for an equivalent contour. However, if you went with the smaller metal contour, a #1 at 26" would be about 2.8 lbs. As I see it, the lightest proof barrel would be about the same weight as a standard magnum contour. Of course it would be stiffer but also cost an arm and a leg more. All this info can be found on the barrel manufactures website. [/QUOTE]
