Tim-Need help with barrel diameters
« on: December 17, 2010, 05:56:55 PM »
Hey Tim.
I just had a member ask about the contor of my HX (2007) 22" 204 barrel I have in the classifieds.
It measures .782 at the muzzle.
I checked the FAQs but it doesn't seem to match the listed diameters.
Would this fall into the bull barrel realm?




Thanks

I am sure not Tim, but a regular contour 25-06 barrel is about .685 at the muzzel, so I would say yours is sure a lot fatter.  Bull Barrel?  Probably depends on your defination.  Mine is that they are the same diameter from breach (or at least in front of the chamber) to the muzzel, but then I don't think there is an official definition.  Larry

The FAQs states ~.800", the tilde symbol ~ means approximately in mathematics.  ;)
