Whats the prefered contour and barrel diameter people use for a Broughton 5C or a Shilen ratchet 4 groove barrel ? I will be putting this on a 40X.

I am new around here but I can say pick out one of the great BR rimfire smiths around here and let them advise you and listen to what they say.
 
Contour

For a 40x the barrel will need to be at least 1.2 in dia I usually use 1.25. On a shillen i use #7 or there rimfire taper, accuracy wise it does'nt matter. On a broughton not sure of contour # it starts out 1.25 for 3 inches then tapers to .9 and runs to end that size.Dan Killough has Shillens and Harts in stock,and Charlie Scott has Broughton and Shillens between the two you should be able to find what your looking for.
 
Ok thanks for all of the information. I'll be ordering one tomorrow.
