Barrel weight/contour

[Outlaw45]

I'm building a 22 creedmoor for hunting and long range plinking. I'm thinking of going with a 20" barrel because it'll be suppressed. I would like to keep it 4lbs or less.

I'm considering a 20" light palma or Rem Varmint. Any idea what either of those barrel would weigh at 20" fluted or not?

I’d do a fluted #3 or 3B. Both have enough meat at 20” for a 5/8-24 thread, and sub 4 lbs.

Remington Varmint would end up sub 4#. Total weight could come in around 10# minus supressor depending on optics.

I was thinking about doing the same thing with my 243. I was leaning towards a light Palma.

I have another rifle similar setup with a McMillan A3 and 24" Krieger #4 contour. The Manners stock for the new build should be lighter. I like that #4 contour but since I'd like to keep it to 20" I think I could go with a heavier contour. Would Light palma be the next step up or rem varmint be closer?

The next up would be a #5, light palma, standard palma, then rvc.

Where does medium palma fit?

That's the same as a standard palma.
