[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 71605, member: 10"] JDJones, What finish length are you planning on using? Anything under 30" will work fine with the 1.250" diameter. In fact anything over that will as well but you may get into some receiver flexing issues. The larger 1.350" diameter will offer a larger barrel shoulder for support but it will also add barrel weigth which gets you back into the receiver flexing issue. Personally I do not like to go past 30" on a Rem 700 using a conventional bedding system. Anything longer then that or heavier then that and I use a barrel bedding v-block to eliminate any possible problem with receiver flexing or barrel whip. I just designed my "Extreme Sporter V-Block" which is a modified version of my "Extreme V-Block" system used in my heavy rifles. This allows the use of tapered, lighter weight barrels with the same benefits of the V-Block system. Your barrel discription is nearly identical to the Lilja #8 contour which I have fitted many of these to Rem 700s and Savage recievers with great results. These are 1.250" diameter barrels. TO be honest, I would doubt you would see any benefit going with the heavier shank. It will add cost to make the special contour and if you use say a McMillan stock you will have to pay for the custom inletting. Personally, I would say the possible advantages would not be worth the extra cost and effort. It does look pretty sweet with a barrel the same diameter as the reciever espeically with a recoil lug that is also the same diameter on top like the Holland Comp Lug. Good Shooting!!
