Is there a web site identifying the different contours of barrels? Example; What is the difference between a #1 contour and a # 8? Founding member of the 7MM STW club Member of the Texas Cull Hunters Association | ||

http://www.shilen.com/contours.html Each barrel manufacturer has their own, but the Shilen web site above will give you an idea as to the basic differences. _______________________________________________________________________________ This is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine.

Most barrel makers display their tapers on their web sites. Visit a few and you'll see that they do not, all, use the same dimensions. | |||

Douglas and Shilen seem to be very close to each other......it's the A&B contours that are tough toi find. I can post them if one has an interest. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
