Barrel Contours
« on: August 01, 2020, 09:42:12 PM »
I am planning to order a custom 24", 308 barrel (Criterion "Remage") from Northland Shooters Supply for a Remington 700 single shot action. This will be used mostly at Koko Head, so 100 yards, with an occasional 300 yard range on private land, no hunting. I already have a 700 5R in 308. I was planning to order the bull barrel contour, possibly fluted, but was wondering about the other contours offered; sporter, heavy sporter, light varmit, MTU(?) and light, standard and heavy palma. What are reasons to consider these other contours?

weight. As the article mentioned its a balance of weight and stiffness.

Not traveling long distances on foot and very little firearm manipulation, so bull barrel it is. Sometimes, actually a lot of times for me, it takes a simple explanation to make my mind click.

I have Rem 700 .308 with a heavy barrel. It’s a heavy heavy gun. I got it for wanting to try my hand at precision shooting. Though at one time a buddy wanted to go hunting with this, but its way to heavy for what he described they go through.

I’m in the process of researching a replacement stock. What stocks are you looking at?

I don't see any problems with your uses except there are weight limits for some competition shooting

Nice. I’m looking for a stock with adjustable LOP and comb. My current stock had neither. While it’s comfortable, I’d like to be able to try small adjustments.

Maybe a bolt action range day  :thumbsup:
