Remington 700 Barrel profile

[BANMAN19]

Gents,

I am planning to build a rifle using a blueprinted Remington 700 short action and a Cadex chassis. I am trying to mimic the M40a6 look but am having a hard time deciding on a barrel contour. I am on edge between a Remington sendero, M24, and heavy palma contour. What are the differences between them and what would you recommend. If you got PICS, that’ll help.

It’s gonna be 20” and I won’t be toting this around in the field, mainly a tripod gun.

Have you considered using a Schneider M40A6 barrel?

Another close contour would be the M24 contour. I think a remington sendero would be a good bit thinner, and a different taper profile than the above mentioned contours.

Recommend going to Schneider website and looking at the contour charts.

ETA: I am a big fan of the M24 contour, which is offered by many manufacturers. I use it for hunting and match rifles.

Is heavy Palma closer to M24 or is the sendero closer?

The same question was ask not long ago by another hide member in this thread here.

Order a Schneider 6 groove m40A1-6 blank if you are wanting to replicate the A6 as closely as possible.
