Which Hogue?

[Al James]

I have a MKII SS synthetic chambered in 25-06. It wears the heavier barrel which I have always referred to as a magnum contour. I decided that I wanted to replace the factory stock with a Hogue. Looking through the catalog I noticed they have 3 options:

1. Standard Barrel contour
2. B Barrel
3. Heavy Barrel

I assume that the one I want is the "B" barrel but want to make sure before I order the stock. I also assume that the heavy barrel model is for the target rifles with the target gray finish/laminated stock models.

Any help or advice appreciated.

Well looks like I will just have to find the time to call hogue to confirm which model I need.

you are correct with the 'B'

The 25-06, 300 win mag, and the 338 win mag are all long action 'B' barrels.

The 270, 30-06, and 7mm mag are the long action 'A' barrels.

Good thing...I ordered a OD green, pillar bedded,"B" barrel stock this morning. Hogue item number is 77221. Was planning on ordering it in black like my other M77's but figured I would change it up a bit. I'm excited to see how it looks/shoots when done. Thanks for your input.
