[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1033732, member: 48559"] I had a 7mag re-barreled a couple years ago and had them duplicate the factory sporter contour. Shot well for the first three, but as it warmed up the groups spread a bit. Gun weighed 10 lbs. I had a savage 111 rebuilt with EABCO's heavy varmint contour (muzzle dia. .875") in a6.5/284, gun weighs 13 lbs, shoots well hot or cold. Just built another savage111 with PacNor number 6 contour, fluted in 280 AI, gun weighs 12lbs, shoots great hot or cold. I won't try to go light or short again. These are all 26 inch long tubes, the savages have brakes that add another 1.75" past that. Someone on this site signs posts with a statement that goes like this: Lightweight rifles have the advantage of being lightweight. All other advantages go to the heavy rifle. Works for me. [/QUOTE]
