Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Ruger American vs Tikka T3

My American .243 is .570" OD at the muzzle. Hard to nail down the contour since everybody's is a little different but I'd call it pretty close to a #2.

My Tikka T3 .223 is .630" at the muzzle.

For comparison a Remington standard Sporter is .660" at the muzzle and a Remington Mountain rifle contour is .550", but Remington uses a proprietary contour that narrows down over approx. the first 13" and then runs straight to the muzzle from there.
