Utah, I agree on the fwt barrels, other than my 300 H&H (#2 lilja) all my other semi-custom pre 64 M70's have the winny fwt contour.
I also agree with you guys. However, whoever built my 338 got that contour right. Not sure what profile it is, but it's just as lively in the hands as my fwt's... A little lighter too..
