What’s the largest contour that will fit in a classic?
Have a bunch of them but the biggest thing I’ve ran was a Rem. Mag sporter.

I'm not sure what the largest would be. But here is a Hart (ADL/BDL contour). It's .680 at the muzzle.

Thanks KY, that’s probably the same/similar to the Rem. Mag sporter.
Wondering if a sendero’esque profile will fit.

I've done a few with #3 contours which is a good combo . A #4 word also work well.

Is the Rem Mag Sporter what LVSFs use? If so, I've had a couple LVSFs and this is certainly a bit heavier. Not by a whole lot though.

For a short action - a Sendero barrel will fit but it does max it out flats. A friend had a Pac-Nor sendero contour turned 20 thousandths under spec and I thought thought was a perfect max for the classic.

I had a Savage smokeless 50 cal muzzleloader in an ADL classic (no ramrod inlet). It was MAXED and really too big of a barrel but it worked and I liked the setup. I'd not run that big of a barrel in a standard centerfire but with the big hole in the barrel it worked fine for balance.

A Sendero profile will fit. There’s not a whole lot of room to spare.

Rem Varmint is max, but not ideal if you don't have to go that heavy.

Yep. That's when the Remington Sporter comes into play (if one likes the more classic style).

I have seen them with a Rem Varmint/Sendero jammed in, but it definitely was overstuffed.

A #5 is where that stock maxxes out. You might push that a smidge, but if you do, keep an eye on shank length.

#5 is your answer, within conventional bounds.

I’ve had a 20” Sendero profile and the above pictured 16” in a Classic but wouldn’t go any longer. The 16” balances very well in that handle.

Thanks for all the input.
Hangunnr, I have a similar set up except I switched out a sporter contour barrel off a model Seven and put it in a faux Ti with DBM and a SWFA 1-4x.
