Pic of McGowan savage varmint

[bushwackr]

Hello all I'm trying to find a picture of a 26" McGowan savage varmint contour barrel. I can't seem to find one out there. I was considering that for my next build. Thank you
Has anyone had good luck with a light palma down to 26-27".

I have a factory Savage 26" Varmint profile barrel on my new 110 Varmint 223. It's a pretty hefty tube, with the accustock, the rig weighs just over 10lbs before mounts and glass.

I can grab a picture of that if it'd help.

Yes please

Well which do you want...a Savage Varmint or Light Palma contour?

This is my Shilen, but it’s the Savage Varmint. I’m pretty sure they are the same

I'm not totally sure which yet those are the two I am bouncing back and forth on

The Varmint contour is nice. It’s .800” diameter @ 26” I believe. Pretty heavy , as you can see next to a stock sporter. However, I am planning on a Heavy Palma barrel next.

I have a 26” McGowen measuring 0.70” at the muzzle so a picture would look a lot like Dave H’s. At 0.70” it’s plenty heavy.

I am rebarreling my 7 stw. Have a pile of rounds thru a spaghetti sporter, accuracy went in the toilet. I want a good stiff 26-27" barrel. That's why I thought the varmint or the palma. The palma might be better if I have to carry it a bunch. I usually get to a vantage point and setup over crp or on a hilltop and wait out the game. So weight isn't a super big deal.

Here it is next to the stock 22” Sporter barrel.
