I own a model 70 .270WSM I am going to rebarrel to 6.5WSM.

It shoots so-so and is very finicky to what you feed it with. I was going to trade it but eventually I decided to have some fun with it.

I was thingking of building a high mountain lightweight rifle and I need your help on what is the lightest 24" barrel possible without compromising safety.

The data I would need would be the lenth of the barrel shank and different barrel diameters at different points along its legth.

Thanks in advance.

Montero-

I think mine is a #3 Hart which was finished at 24 inches.

you can go with the absolute smallest contour and maker will make and still be fine. Lilja was making the smallest contours I knew of and calling it the #0 or something. Not sure if they still make it.

Otherwise you could pay a person to turn down a #1 contour to your desired dimensions.
