[QUOTE="mgood, post: 1132308, member: 91188"] Today I ordered a Brux #3 Stainless, 6.5mm, 8-twist, with the interrupted fluting. Feel free to tell me that Brux sux and I made a horrible choice. Or to tell me that they're great and it's an outstanding choice. Krieger wouldn't do a 6.5mm stainless barrel in anything smaller than a #4. I could live with a 4, but I was leaning towards a #3. Then I thought that if we fluted it, I'd get back near the weight of a #3. But Krieger said to flute a 6.5, it would have to be at least the #5 PLUS profile. This is for a rifle to walk around with all day. I [I]can[/I] carry a heavier gun if I have to, but I'd rather not. If it just wears me out to lug it around, then I'm likely to grab a lighter rifle when I go out, and I want this to be my main hunting rifle. I was thinking "sporter." I could have gone with a chrome-moly barrel, but preferred stainless. Brux had no problem with it. And while looking at barrels, I sort of fell in love with the interrupted fluting they offer. This is for a 6.5 Sherman Shortmag. Plans include Defiance Deviant Hunter action and McMillan Remington Sporter stock. EDIT 9/8/2018 - My rifle last night: [ATTACH=full]105141[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
