Im not a competitor as such, but I choose to have guns that could be used for it for the type hunting/shooting I do.
Standard actions like Rem 700, And Savage 110s are used with 1'250 barrels regularly, and often guns are bought just for the action.
Many prefer to have them tapered from about the front of the chamber area to a smaller muzzle size in order to cut down on weight, but not always.
Barrel steel is supplied to the barrel maker in certain diameter dimensions, and they can do what the customer selects from there as for twist, length, and shape. Action threads are determined by the specific action selected, and done by the one doing the chambering.
