[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 1716468, member: 90397"] The Brian Litz work was co-authored by Carl Zant in Vol 2. The summary excerpt was: [LIST] [*]Fluted barrels showed measurably more POI shift compared to barrels of the same contour that weren't fluted. [/LIST] You can find negative results published by Accuracy International as well regarding fluting and its affects on accuracy. From my point of view, you can also find plenty of anecdotal examples of reports of fluted rifles that shoot well which leads me to believe results may vary. However, I spend lots of money on my precision shooting equipment to try and eliminate variables and improve consistency. I quit spending my money fluting as I don't want to be adding further variables into my custom builds. I would rather spend money on carbon stocks and similar features to save weight. [/QUOTE]
