Rem 700 SPS varmint tappered barrel or not?

[berto255]

I have a remi 700 sps varmint and I'm trying to get one of the clamp on muzzle brakes for it but, I can't get one if the barrel is tappered. This are my measurement starding from the muzzle end:

0" = 0.822"
1/4" = 0.826"
1/2" = 0.828"
3/4" = 0.830"
1" = 0.832"
1-1/4" = 0.834"
1-1/2" = 0.835"
1-3/4" = 0.836"
2" = 0.836"

I thought that the heavy barrel rifles weren't tappered, maybe I was wrong. I now that a couple of guys in the forums got roedale muzzle breaks, did they have the same disclaimer for their breaks? The guy in ebay says he can't machine brakes for tappered barrel but I now that people use this tapy of clamp design on LTR and P models. I though the varmint and P model had the same type of barrel. By the way is a 308 if anyone wanted to know

i think they all taper except possibly a full bull. you can try a copy of the rohdale or however you spell it, which looks like a copy of the HK style brake.

and there is a guy here named hateCA who runs R&D precision i believe its called that has a nice clamp on brake. i think what the guy is trying to say is its hard for him to match your exact taper or contour without the barrel in hand to match it.

if i read your question correctly

I dont think he wants the barrel to match it, he wants the demension OD of my barrel which is .825 at the muzzle but increases by +0.002 every 1/4" of an inch. So every barrel is tappered to a certain degree! The only difference is the amount of tappered away from the muzzle end! I just wanted to know if anyone had the same barrel I had (308 remi 700 sps heavy barrel .820 muzzle OD)

The spelling was right (http://www.webshop.<span style="font-weight: bold">roedale</span>.de/index.php?cat=c89_Muzzle-Brakes.html)
