Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Which barrel makers run larger or smaller than average?

I'm hardly an expert but I think both Shilen and Rock have the same contours and are lighter contour as far as their #1, #2, #3 and so on. Brux is a little heavier and I think Lilja sort of falls right in the middle. I think Bartlein #3 are probably the heaviest #3. Krieger barrels are the same as Brux as I recall.

I have a #3 Lilja and a Brux #3, both are fluted though. I used to have a #3 Shilen in a Sporter - hated it. The Sporter is pretty beefy up front and might work better with a #4 or bigger.

YOu might also consider the Classic, I have the Lilja and Brux in a Classic and IMHO thats a perfect combo.
