[QUOTE="dkhunt14, post: 1044206, member: 14053"] Well Krieger just spent a ton of money to put equipment in to freeze and stress relieve their barrels. So apparently they must think that cut rifling induces stress. I was also told that the long rods that barrels come in that they get stress from handling and bouncing around. Apparently the bending up and down of the steel while handling makes stress. I was also told by a metal guy that machining stainless induces stress. I have had many good Broughton barrels and love the way they break in and clean. They clean a lot easier then the Kriegers I had. I have had good barrels of both. I Just feel my Broughtons clean easier. I have set records with both and have seen both win a lot. I have not been to a bunch of short-range BR shoots but the ones I went to were big ones. I never saw a fluted barrel at any of them. I also don't see many on longrange BR guns either. Ask bountyhunter because he was around as long as me. Right now the hot barrel in short range is Bartlien. They have been doing pretty good. Matt [/QUOTE]
