I think youll have to find a barrel to turn down to the contour you desire or get a custom made barrel.
Yes, the Brownell's 24" barrel is the closest commercially available barrel to what I am thinking of. It weighs just over 2.5lbs. I have the 18" version and it shoots just over 1moa with factory ammo. I haven't found a hand load that it likes yet, though.
I think you are right that I will need to go with a custom build for my picky tastes.
I have a Tikka T3x Superlite that has a lightweight fluted barrel but still shoots under 1moa with factory ammo. So I know some high quality lightweight barrels are capable of great accuracy. That's why I'm asking. Right now I'm just kind of shopping around and getting ideas.
