[QUOTE="WYO300RUM, post: 2595698, member: 32631"] Almost 3 years ago I had a new Bartlien barrel installed on my 300 RUM. I didn't think it through very well at all. I should of went with a carbon fiber barrel for less weight. This rifle was my go to rifle for deer and elk. I put a Bartlien varmint contour barrel on it. Had it cut to 28 in.. It went from 10 pds with scope to 13.5 pds.... I haven't hunted with it since. It's a tack driver though. I'm guessing cutting barrel to 26 in. (I don't want less) and fluting would only cut a pound at most so it's not going to make it a mountain rifle again. I had an MGM 27 in. One in. full bull barrel with integral brake fluted. It cut 6 oz. off. It's no mountain rifle either. [/QUOTE]
