Remington Model 7 XCR barrel contour???
Remington call their fluted barrel they use
on their XCR model 7 a "magnum contour".
How does that compare to the usual availble contours...is it like a Fluted no4 contour???
I'm asking because I'm wanting to put a short,
stiff, fluted barrel on my 7 in probably 6mmBR Norma. I'm looking at a Lija No4 contour fluted about 18 or 19" length but were curious what contour remingtons compared too.I still want light weight but would like a stiff tube to really bring out the accuracy the 6mmbr can provide.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Call Dan.

He maintains most of the commercial contours; I had him make me a specific profile five years ago.
