Mine is definitely the small profile barrel. I have a Remington model seven also and the two barrels have the same diameter at the muzzle. My 116 trophy Hunters in 30-06 and 223 have the normal (larger) profile barrel.
I will offer my son his choice of my rifles in two years when he can hunt. I am afraid I know which one he will choose. I'll just have to buy another one, that's all. My next one might be a 270 or 260.
