Krieger #10 MTU Contour?

[toptrigger630]

Need a pic of a Krieger #10 MTU Contour....Time for a rebarrel and I'm trying to decide whether to go with the #10MTU or a Straight Taper.

Stick: Remy R5 .308 cal., AICS, NF NXS 5.5-22x50, AAC Cyclone

Thanks in advance

That's going to be a pig of a rifle in an AICS. Do what you want, but know that you're gaining some serious weight over the stock barrel.

The heavy palma fluted would be nice.

Here's a 28" MTU on my 6.5 Creedmoor

^^^Rob01 is much stronger than me, I can't even pick his rifles up.

Rob01- How much does that weigh in at??

Re: Krieger #10 MTU Contour?

About 16.5 lbs as you see it. Not really too bad. I am sure even Jason could swing it around

Re: Krieger #10 MTU Contour?

Thanks for the input, I'm not really concerned about the weight with the MTU, rig already weighs about 14 lbs. I believe I'm going to drop the hammer on the MTU profile....probably have it cut and threaded down to 22in....while I'm at it I'm going to have Wheaton Arms here in SC true up my action and perform the smith work.

If any of you are around SC and are looking for a good smith, check out Wheaton Arms....his website is still under construction, but Robbie is a world class shooter and gunsmith. Thought I would give him a lil' plug....he's been real good to me over the years.

Mine clocks in at 18lbs. If you aren't afraid of weight, I'd say go as heavy as you can. But if weight is an issue..

Here is my MTU contour barrel. It is way heavier than a barrel needs to be (especially a .308 barrel) so I have been using lighter contours lately.
