Considering rebarreling a 70 classic wsm action and have a question in contour. Has standard sporter right now and am wondering what contour would be similar? Or I’d like the muzzle to be a little larger, ending at .6-.62” with 24” but don’t want to add a ton of weight. It’s going to be a 300wsm, with a goal end weight of 7.5-8lbs with Leupold 3-10 in Talley Lw.
That's what my EW weighed (7.75 pounds) and it had a Mcmillan hunters compact edge on it, with that same scope and ring set-up. You may want to look into that contour and see what dimensions it has (I believe it's about the same as a sporter, but fluted). Keep in mind, you'll have to replace the factory stock to stay at your weight goal...
