Do it all barrel contour

[Twistedtrucker1]

I want a barrel for hunting and shooting steel so I would like to find the sweet spot not too heavy not too light stock will be a Stockys carbon action a tikka and a light weight Leupold caliber is 7Saum thinking of going with a 26 inch 1:8

Suppressed or not suppressed, and how long are you wanting to shoot game and steel?

No suppressed and game out to 650 steal past 1200 yards

Bart 3b or depending on length, somebody else’s 4 or 5.

I have a light palma contour on a 6.5 Sherman and I’ve been happy with it, especially at a 26” length. My 20-22” barrels tend to be medium palma.

Buy a Proof Research Carbon wrapped barrel.

Sporter number 3 for me. Own/owned two Tikka 7 SAUMs one was a McGowen barrel and the other is another custom barrel maker. Heavy shooting and no issues.

Bart 3B ish would be my vote. Coming from another 7 SAUM user, why going 26"? I have a 21" Proof pushing 168 VLDs at 2960 fps w/ H1000. Maybe it's just me but that's more than enough juice for anything in the lower 48 (minus grizz) and its a pleasure to carry around in the backcountry.

Whatever a factory sporter is works pretty good for me. Be it a T3 or a m77 hawkeye. Cant say I have wanted more or less

The 26 is the killer. If you backed that up a bit you could make a 3b work well....but at 26, I'd go 2b.

Chasing velocity but I’m not fixed on a length yet don’t mine a 22”24” inch

Run your calculator based on upset yards and not muzzle velocity and I’d wager you won’t miss those 4-6” and would enjoy a 20-22”
