Vanguard Wilderness Barrel dimensions?

I know, from time to time, we of the Nation hash over barrel contours and dimensions.  I'm kinda scratching my head on this one ...

I have a new Vanguard Wilderness in 6.5-300.  Weatherby.com says it's a #2 barrel, but BOY!  It's pretty thin ... almost like a #1 Mod on a Mark V ULW.  Muzzle diameter measured by digital caliper says it's .575, which is kinda down there at #1 MOD range.

Any of the Wise Ones care to shed some light?

No idea! If it shoots well, I don't care what the manufacturer wants to call the contour. It changes from one company to the next what to call  a "contour"   :)
