Proof "Heavy Competition" contour?

[TahoeDust]

I was just looking at Proof's site and saw they added "Heavy Competiton" contour barrels for Zermatt actions. They don't seem to have diagrams up or weights listed yet. Anyone know anything about these?

Saw this looking at blanks. Looks like a straight contour vs the slight taper on the competition.

Interesting. Thanks. I had not seen that.

I have two of them for my AI AT.

One in 308 and the other in 6.5 CM. They are definitely shooters. They are as accurate as my Bartlein or Krieger barrels. They are heavier than my MTU contour barrels.

I highly recommend them.

I have a Proof SS in 6CM for my AI as well, not a heavy contour though.

They're heavy pigs. They taper, but not much.

For guys like me that would rather balance with barrel weight than bolt on weights they're great. If you have $400 in chassis weights you might find yourself pulling some off.
