I prefer medium contour 18" for 3-gunning. The extra weight adds significant stability and makes me more confident in zero holding as the barrel heats up. To balance the gun I put a MagPul UBR on the back.
I also have a lightweight 16" for those few situations where weight matters, but I find it too nervous to be optimal for 3-gun.

Another vote for medium contour. I have it on both my 18" and 16".
Stealthy - Get out of my head!!!

So what diameter (roughly) would you all consider medium contour? About .700", .720"?

I have an 18". Wanted a Med contour, wound up with the DPMS Mark XII heavy barrel. But, that weighty bbl, combined with the rifle length RRA half quad rail forearm, rifle gas, and the phantom comp, makes the gun's recoil about like a .22lr. The rifle is a tad heavy, about 8 pounds, but I used it all this year in 3 gun matches, and it did great.

In many instances, I am thinking weight of the rifle may not be as much of a factor for certain sizes and strength of shooters. It actually maybe more stable for them

Soaks up the recoil, and is a stable platform. It's not like you have to carry the thing around all day. Well, as long as you have a cart like 87% of 3-gunners do. ;) |
