What is the difference in weight between a bartlein .237 bore 5r 24”medium Palma, 24” Remington varmint and 24” marksman contour? The rem varmint is a .830 at 26”, medium palma .820 at 30”, and marksman .870 at 28”. Thanks
 
In all honesty i cant tell much of a weight diff between a med palma and marksman. Both balance the same too. Varmint cant tell a weight diff but balance point seems more to the rear. All with equal bbl lengths. Just my little input.

I pulled a couple barrels out of the gun safe and weighed them on a postal scale. At 26" in 6mm caliber the Marksman is 5oz heavier than the Rem Varmint contour. The balance point of the marksman is a bit farther forward toward the muzzle than the varmint contour.
