Does anybody know the barrel contour that is used on the old Win mod 70 sniper rifles?

Its not a straight taper, but I cant find info on this.

Diameter of tip of barrel?

I have a 1956 target M70, the muzzle diameter is .780 and next to the reciever is 1.150. The taper is pretty straight. I think Douglas makes a really nice reproduction barrel in that contour.

The Senich book claims they were typical Winchester target barrels 24" with a .790 muzzle for the most part.I didn't measure mine and it's at the smith now but it's probably just like hgr2's. I think TBA uses the Douglas barrels and they work well.
