Title: Remington light contour barrels
Post by: agent eight seven O on August 11, 2016, 10:13:47 AM
What is the difference between Remington's light contour barrel and standard barrel? Is it just a weight reduction? And does one have a performance advantage over the other?
Thanks for any info.

They are thinner and lighter and all of them that I've seen and owned, have a great finish inside and out. They may be quicker for upland birds or clays sports. They are excellent barrels.

Thanks,
