24 inch Rem var contour, .830" at the muzzle (flat crown), 1.25"@ breach (1 - 10 twist).

krieger's remington varmint barrel is a match: https://kriegerbarrels.com/contours#sptr
Shilen's #17 rem varmint is close: http://www.shilen.com/contours.html

It's just a heavy varmint/match barrel, as I recall. Nearly(if not all) every barrel maker makes one. I think the Douglas Rem Mag Sporter 005 at $314.00 ready to install is what you're looking for.

Then you get to argue about who's barrel is best. snicker.

Bartlein makes a purpose built replica copied from one of Badger Ords originals.

I have a 700 vs on the way to make a fake m40, will be using a Taylor stock. Will try to get the rest of the real parts to make it look right but still a repo.
Mr pmclaine, looked a Bartlein but 5 to 6 mo is to long for me to wait , thanks .

If you need someone for machining the receiver cuts Mark at Raven Rifles, Pulaski VA knows what to do.

He built this USMC inspired rifle for me and I couldn't be happier...
