Does anyone know what barrel contour would best fit an AICS chassis? It would be for a .308. Thanks.

MTU taper looks nice.

I had a #7 in mine and had a huge amount of space around it.
I'm sure a 1 3/8 straight taper would fit. Not that I'd want one that big. Personally, I'll be using something like a medium palma on most of my guns now due to weight.

Re: AICS Barrel Contour
Personally, I think the contour of your barrel should be dictated by how much you want your rifle to weigh and the balance.

Re: AICS Barrel Contour
I have an MTU on mine and with everything it's over 17lbs. Shoots great but next barrel will be medium Palma for sure.

Barrel on my AICS 700 is 1.25" all the way(no taper).

Just for visual's sake, the green one is a Shilen #8 22" about 1.01" at the muzzle IIRC, and the black one is a factory LTR tube:
