[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 282317, member: 2736"] Normally lilja will not flute anything smaller than a #5 contour because it gets to thin at the bottom of the flutes and can cause ballooning of the bore. ( I had a 7 STW fluted and the ***()@!& went to deep and about 2/3rds down the barrel it ballooed for about 2inches.) A #3 contour doesent need to be fluted and it is less than 3.5 lbs. Your rifle should weigh less than 7 lbs with a #3 Lilja barrel. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
