Interesting barrel contour.

keith sir , what i meant was i tested the rifle at local club matches by shooting against really good shooters with ppcs,and 30brs,as well as the 1000yds nationals last year i only have done the integrated tuner on 2 barrels. 1 case design 6 dasher,same stock , action, scope ,ammo also made sure the chambers indentical in diameter and headspace as well.i wanted this to be extremely free of outside varibles .but have tottally different brand of barrels to insure there is a difference barrel wise,mainly to see if they can do the same thing and to see just how universal this really is. the weak middle is a broughton 1.250 dia. for 3.25 out from the front of the lug,then sporter tapers down to .900 then is straight for 16 inches and then sporter tapers back out to 1.25 at 6 inches from the end of the barrel . tim in tx

Hi Tim. That is a very interesting barrel contour. When I get some time, it might be worthwhile to run an FEA calculation with that barrel.

hi gene, i hope all is well with you sir and thanks so much for everything.it was a true honor to meet you and see your top notch facility.it was so cool to talk tuners with you ,i really enjoyed that very much. i apreciate you letting me try this thing in the tunnel.you probably saved me countless hours of testing outside .and you know we had the thing set pretty darn close for 1000yds,the same slower loads was hitting only about 4 inches low.so i headed up to the clubhouse to hook up to electricity to cut the barrel with the chopsaw and as i was cutting the barrel a class of pistol shooters arrived ,you could imagine the looks on their faces.......priceless. tim in tx
