[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 191733, member: 313"] Why even bother with fluting the barrel? I think more guys flute barrels because they like the APPEARANCE of a fluted barrel rather than for any other practicle reason. Fluting is expensive and can make an otherwise accurate barrel less accurate if it is not done correctly. Fluting should be completed early in the barrel making process. I really don't buy into the notion that fluted barrels cool faster, at least not in a way that makes any difference. As to reducing weight, saving a couple of ounces can be achieved in many other ways. That being said, I do have a few fluted barrels. They're sexy. :>) [/QUOTE]
