What Barrel Contour for your 600 OverKill

Gents

When Wayne from AHR gets back later in January he's going to chamber and send the .620 barrel blank to me, but it is NOT contoured, I will be getting it done here in Oz by my gunsmith

So I was wondering....

Just what barrel contour you guys have selected on your 600 Overkill rifles

I'm thinking of making mine about 25 inches long, 1.300 for the first 6 inches and straight taper to 1.00 at 25 inches plus 4 inch Muzzle brake

S&F- That contour sounds fine, just make sure you have enough meat at the muzzel for your break. I assume your gonna thread it 15/16 X 24? This way you can taper the brake so it looks nice. I'd go 1.25 for 6 inches then straight to 1.0 at the muzzel myself.-Rob
