I'm getting ready to start my first build. Remington .308 in a McMillan m40-a1 stock. I'm wanting a medium weight rifle, 20-22" barrel. Most shots will be 600 yards and in. I'm looking at Bartlein and Shilen barrels. What contour would you guys recommend?

RedTape,
I would look at something like a Sendero contour. Middle of the road contour and they shoot. Hope this helps.

Re: Barrel contour help.
Thanks for the info. I was looking at the Sendero and either the light or standard palma, but I don't have enough experience to know the weight vs. accuracy attributes these contors would give out of a shorter barrel.

Re: Barrel contour help.
Use this to calc the weight for any barrel contour and length. You can get contour specs from various barrel makers sites bc they all vary a bit.
