Was considering ordering a Criterion or Mcgowan pre fit for my Stevens .223 action. Should I go with a varmint or bull contour. If a bull is not needed then I would rather have the varmint contour so all that weight isn't hanging off the front of a Stevens action. Thinking about 26 or 28" to be used for 20 shot f class competitions.
