[QUOTE="mattj, post: 327382, member: 8758"] Pros: - Less weight! - Stiffer than a smaller contour unfluted barrel of the same weight. - Looks (if you like the fluted look / care) - Possibly a negligible improvement in barrel cooling due to increased surface area. Cons: - Less weight! (weight has its advantages) - A fluted barrel will not be as "stiff" as a an unfluted barrel of the same contour (though the difference is pretty negligible) - Adds roughly $100 to the cost of your barrel Summary: If you want a lighter rifle (or you think it is worth it just for the looks), and have enough cash so that you won't be skimping on other things, go for it!
