Green camo on green metal this time...

I personal think the spiral fluting is ridiculous looking. But then again, who cares what a camo tactical rifle looks like anyways - it's functional :p

Another fine rifle!

Question 1
What contour is that Krieger barrel? I'm looking at the Krieger contour page here:
http://www.kriegerbarrels.com/Contours-c1246-wp3382.htm

The "Rem varmint" contour is fairly thick at the crown (.830 versus a Medium Palma or Standard target at .820). To get a thicker crown you would need to go #14 "Heavy Palma" or #9 "Heavy Target". These both weigh 45% more (6.5 lbs versus 4.5 lbs) than the Rem varmint.

Question 2
Can Krieger do helical fluting on the "Rem varmint" contour? Looks like it would be a nice combination of reasonable weight and stiffness, particularly in shorter lengths (18.6" to 20").

Question 3
Can you spec any Mcmillan stock? The A1-3, with its simple design and relatively high comb would probably be a great complement to your Coyote.

Fantasy Coyote (the gun, not the critter) hunting rig:
-Helical fluted "Rem varmint" barrel in 6.5x47 (5R rifling at about 20")
-McMillan A1-3 stock
-Nightforce 2.5-10 x 32

Could be a good use for my tax return. I'll just have to explain to my wife that Costa Rica is overrated and staycations are where it's at :)
