[QUOTE="284stak, post: 196043, member: 8891"] If you haven't already, look at Manners stocks --- they make a very good product ---- with several lightweight versions (24oz to 2.5lbs) and their turn-a-round time is exceptional. For the cost of the fluting and some of the controversy surronding it, I would go with a lighter barrel contour to save weight vs. a heavy contour with fluting. If you go with a lighter wt scope (under 20oz), lightwt manners stock and a #5contour - you should be in that wt range. My buddys shilen [EMAIL="#5@27inches"]#5@27inches[/EMAIL], zeiss conquest, HS sporter stock weighs in at 9.5 to give you some ideas vs my [EMAIL="#5.5contour@27in"]#5.5contour@27in[/EMAIL] w/McMillan thumbhole, IOR scope which is 13lbs) As far as barrel heating without flutes - both of us have around 800 rounds in less than 2 yrs and are still getting 0.5moa consistently.
