Anybody running a heavy sporter contour (#5 x-caliber, #3 bartlein, etc) barrel in a larger barrel channel? Wondering if it would be an absurdly large gap between the barrel and that large of a channel in a manners stock.
It will looks just fine.

Any of yall running a 16.5”-18” have it in a Bartlein 3/3b/4 or an XCaliber #5/#7, or Benchmark/Brux 4/5/6??

Trying to get an idea on weights on some of these in that range of lengths.

If you want lighter Benchmark has more desirable contours than the typical bartlein/brux/krieger/ACE contours. They dont have such heavy shanks and taper down more on the breech end and then the straight taper to the muzzle is less which results in lower weight for a given muzzle diameter.

Good to know…I’ll look into that

The bartlein 3B brux #4 is the ideal profile for a short barreled hunting rifle, it is light but not unshootable light. I’ll weigh my 20inch 3B tikka T3x XLR element 4.0 magnesium chassis tomorrow.
