Big or Bust Report post Posted May 25, 2018 Fluting does crap to accuracy as Lance demonstrated.... If it does, your barrel was crap anyway... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nooch2222 Report post Posted May 29, 2018 Was the fluting done by the barrel maker before or after the barrel was chambered? i Fluting reduces accuracy.... .300RUM 215 Berger @ 100 yards 230 Berger @ 200 yards 230 Berger @ 404 yards 6.5SS 150 SMK @ 100 yards 28 Nosler R700 Sendero SF .264WM 7RM 180 Hybrid @ 100 180 Hybrid @ 200 180 Hybrid @ 806 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lancetkenyon Report post Posted May 29, 2018 Fluting the barrel will shave 4-8 oz off depending on style, depth, # if flutes, etc. There are other ways to shave weight off that rifle as well. But they all cost $$. Alloy bolt shroud -2oz Cut off bolt knob and install CF knob -2oz Flute bolt body -1oz TI firing pin -.25oz Alloy Picatinny rail (if that is steel now) -2 to 3oz Different stock (looks like an HS Precision on there) -10 to 16oz w. Manners or McMillan Edge TI brake -1oz Proof Research barrel -8 to 16oz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
