I have an accustock and action off a model 16 in .300 savage. Waiting on a .358 win barrel from Shaw. Will the 358 win in magnum contour(smallest they make it for in 358) fit in my accustock which had a .300 savage with a sporter contour. They are both small shank barrels in case anyone asks.
The wording of your question gives you the answer. No, a magnum contour barrel won't fit into a stock with a barrel channel designed for a sporter barrel without opening it up a little. Generally sporter barrels have a muzzle diameter of .550". Most magnum contour barrels will have a muzzle diameter of 0.600 to 0.700" depending on caliber and manufacturer.
That's what I assumed, but I didn't know if the accustocks channel would allow it to fit as it is designed to normally squeeze around an action.
the action isnt getting bigger the barrel is. just sand the forearm out and slap her to getherQuote:
