Weatherby 257s come with a number 2 contour barrel.... Differences in age and manufacturer might make some differences to that however....

Get a #2 in 26".

#1 is for varminters
#2 is for 240 thru 340
#3 is for 30/378, 338/378, 378, 416. For a while they made a special order #3 for the #2 applications
#4 is for the 460
