Getting ready to have my 5R 300wm re-barreled and Im having a hard time verifying what the contour is on the original barrel.
It's been bed and fit into a McMillan A5 so I'd like to get an exact or as close to an exact match to avoid spending money on re shaping barrel channel.

Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance

Yes, I have called Remington and they are not 100% sure

Re: Need new barrel? Contour check

Measure the barrel diameter in front of the receiver, and 6" from the breech end and measure the muzzle diameter. That would give us something to go off of. Also a picture would help as well.

Is it a straight taper barrel? or is it a sporter type contour?
