Gunsmithing #7 vs sendero varmiter question

[padronanniversary]

My understanding is that the varmiter contour is a tad bit bigger in diameter at the base at 1.235 vs the #7 which is 1.20. Is this correct in that I can simply sand away a little to make a varmiter barrel profile fit a #7 ?

Thanks in advance for any help

Depends on mfg of the barrel. Look up the contour specs on mfg's site.

Yes, you can just sand away material in front of the lug and forward to make it work if the new barrel is bigger.

#7 from which barrel maker, My factory heavy barrel was a tad larger where it met the action, like 1.25 or something. My M24/M40 contour Rock is 1.2. I dont know if that helps.

Depends on the maker....they are the same from Rock.

Most varminters are smaller than #7s but again, varies by mfg.

This is just a remington. Got a MCM stock for a #7 and have a 40x 22lr coming (sporter vartmiter), and want to just understand what will be required on my part.

thanks in advance, u guys rock !

Don't sand a thing....just bed it and shoot it. It'll be ready to roll.

If anything you'll have a little extra room around the barrel channel, but that's not a bad thing.
