[QUOTE="Centre Punch, post: 70726, member: 3048"] Hi JD, According to my calculations, your cut down Palma barrel will have the same muzzle diameter at 24", that the Remington Varmint contour has at 26" so yes you will lose a bit of weight. This also tells me that your barrel will be a little stiffer then the Remington barrel, simply because it is shorter. Theoretically, when fired your shorter barrel will produce a higher rate of barrel vibrations(harmonics)and thus shoot more accuratly. If you want to shed a bit more weight, choose a cut rifled barrel of the same contour and have it flutted. Ian. [/QUOTE]
