Fwiw, a Ruger #1A .250 Savage is .562" at the very tip of its 24" barrel, just ahead of the front sight band.

That .672" figure matches their #1S contour, my .30-06 #1S is .671" at 24".

In still more fwiw news, their Model 77 magnum contour barrel runs .627" at 24". Hmm, wonwider if they meant to make that first African on the magnum contour barrel and someone at Ruger transposed the last two digits on the spec sheet... wink
In my limited estimation the Ruger 77 in .30-06 with 22 inch barrel is the most fantastic deer-elk rifle on the market.
Put as 4x or 3-9 on it and you have the perfect deer-hog rifle made. Even a good elk rifle.

What goes up must come down, what goes around comes around, there's no free lunch. Trump's comin' back, get over it!
