Would be interested in seeing any pictures or builds using a Shilen #1 or other #1 /FW barrels.

Also forgot to ask...any practical hunting difference between the match and select match barrels? Looks to be about 70.00 difference in price between the two.

A Lilja #1 will get you the length you need... And they're excellent barrels. http://riflebarrels.com/barrel-contour-data/

And here's their factory copy of the Rem Mtn contour: http://riflebarrels.com/wp-content/uploads/remmtn24.pdf


As to Shilen's contour - I have no idea why they feel the need to cut off 1" of shank.. IMHO, that's silly.. Most barrel makers do want at least 1/2" off the muzzle end; that I can understand.. But the shank? Bah...
