The 1710 Heavy barrel has the same contour as the 1712 Silhouette only a tad thicker.

Ans1710 1.000" for 2.75" then taper to .810" over 4" then straight taper to .685" (within .010" or less at any point)

Ans1712 .990" for 2.62" then taper to .720" over 4" then straight taper to .585"

Just to be sure that you understand, you do not have to match the contour of the factory barrel when rebarreling the rifle. The barrel need only be tapered and the rifle make weight. Any of the 'smiths who are likely to rebarrel it for you can make recommendations that will make weight.
