Barrel contour nrl

[duckhunterrr]

Weight of current rifle is 10lb 1oz. Tikka t3x 6.5cm in a McMillan mtn tracker lr. Looking to do a barrel and keep it under 12lbs. Planning for a bartlein blank. A #4 takes me right to 12 or possibly just over. A 3b should keep me below. Will 3b be effective for nrl? Tia

Sure, why not? Build for balance, and try to get the balance point in front of the mag well.

What about it would hypothetically unsuited for NRL?

Was more so trying to get feedback if anyone runs that contour.

3b will work fine. Know a few guys running fluted 3Bs.

I run rem varm it heavy spiral fluted 22’ in 25 creed. I make light open with a zco 420 suppressor and triple pull. I have a 260 ai with a 20’ #3 Bart and it’s super easy to make LO with it. 140 hybrids at 2850

You're at 10# 1oz all up with bipod and muzzle device in your current config? Nrl weighs everything attached to rifle minus the magazine.

You're not going to want to eat up all 1# 15oz of that limit due to scale inconsistency at weigh in. I'd add enough barrel to get you up to 11# 11ish oz. A light palma will finish a few oz under a Bart 3b at same finish length and still give you 0.750+ muzzle od for 5/8x24 threads. The 3b is 0.700 muzzle at 26in finish, most smith's will recommend a bit larger than that if you want 5/8 muzzle threads.

Good advice.

They also don’t include a rifle sling in the weight, in addition to the magazine.
