9.3 barrel contour?
I have question about the muzzle diameter for all you guys that own .366 caliber rifles.

I am building a 9.3x64 brenneke on a CZ 550 action. This is going to be a general hunting rifle. As such I want a light sporter barrel contour. Not super lightweight or heavy. Just a nice carrying rifle.

I am thinking a muzzle diameter of .650-.675 @ 23 inches.

What do you all think? Comments, thoughts, ideas, suggestions appreciated.

CZ's have a muzzle dia. of about 0.650", as I recall.

The factory CZ 9.3x62 typically weighs between 7.7 and 8 lbs.

About .625 at 24 inches is suitable. A bit smaller at 26 inches.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.
