Gentlemen,
I'm building a plinking rifle on a BAT Tactical Receiver and a Bartlein SS 5R 1/8 Twist Blank. It is intended for a 6.5x47mm Lapua. I actually ordered two in Remington Varmint Contours. I really don't know if they are going into a McMillan Remington Hunter or a AI AW 2.0 Chassis. My question is do you have any recommendations on barrel contour or profile? The tube will be fluted. I realise it would helpful to know the exact final configuration, however, I just can't nail it down at the moment. Remington Varmint, Straight Taper Light Palma, etc.? Your input is greatly appreciated...

Mr. Shaw,
I greatly appreciate your input... Thank you again.

Gentlemen,
The question I should have asked is "Is there an accuracy advantage to a straight, read no, taper barrel versus a sporter profile?". I've had GA Precision build over a dozen .308 Winchesters, .300 Winchester Magnums, and one .223 AI Sporter(brilliant) and one 7mm-08 Sporter(far, far less brilliant)in the last ten years. Aside from the .223 AI Sporter all the hummers have had straight taper barrels. Is there a reason behind that? To be completely honest I have kept some and sent others on to different owners. I feel comfortable with the .223AI/.308/.300WM grouping in my safe, however, I don't want to make a mistake with two Bartlein Sporting Tapers even if they are heavy for caliber. And no, I don't why I ordered two either...
