[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1716913, member: 3728"] Flutes look cool, and I have a few. However, for the guy on a budget, dropping down a contour weight would accomplish the same thing. For super accuracy, I am very Leary of going below a #4 contour, and prefer a #5. I walk to and from fixed stands. When fluting a barrel, if the barrel is not supported directly below the cut, the barrel will warp springing away from the cut. Best to get a barrel fluted by the maker when the barrel is made. Some guys are set up to flute barrels, but you had better know their technique before it is done. Accuracy is a relative thing as people's thoughts on the subject are all different. If you are wanting two inch groups at 600, then you need to be real picky on the details. [/QUOTE]
