[QUOTE="HandgunHTR, post: 2984051, member: 126524"] As sable tireur pointed out, the largest variable in all of this is the shooter themselves. A A Ron, are you capable of shooting .5 MOA every time? Is this for a hunting rig? If the answer to the first one is, yes, GREAT! You are a better marksman than most. If the answer to the second question is also, yes, then I think you are chasing your tail. Unless you are only planning on hunting at extreme long range (800+), .5 MOA is a bit unnecessary. I think that in regards to fluting barrels, the same can be said as it is with rifling. The tools and process that we have today are much better than they used to be and the issues with overstressing the barrels are not as prevalent as they once were. I don't own an air gauge or a way of measuring, but I have had 3 different button-rifled barrels fluted and they all shoot exactly the same as they did before I had them fluted. Contours on them are, Rem-Varmint, Light Palma, and #4 sporter. [/QUOTE]
