Barrel contour of the Remington 5R?

[scout1]

I've done some internet searching for this info and can't find anything beyond "varmint contour".

Rifle is the Remington 5R in .308 with the 24 inch barrel.

Reason I'm asking is I'm thinking of purchasing a wood stock for this rifle and that is one of the spec's that I need to know. It seems as if I read some where that the Rem varmint contour equals the #3 contour. Does that sound right?

Thanks, Jim

Its Remingtons varmint contour, .830 at the muzzle. BTW one barrel manufacturers #3 contour is not exactly the same as anothers. Also the Varmint is closer to #7 from Shilen, Lilja,Douglas, etc.

Remington's 5R shares the same contour as the PSS, Varmint and Tactical models.
