[QUOTE="Browninglover1, post: 1035743, member: 29966"] While I don't disagree with their test results with the lasers I find it interesting they didn't provide the results of their real world shooting data. Without seeing their complete test set up and protocol I take this with a grain of salt. Fluting takes rigidity out of a barrel so I can agree that it has the potential to affect how it shoots as it heats up but if done correctly how bad is it? I don't flute my barrels because of the cost vs gain (lighter weight) to me personally. However I've seen enough fluted barrels shoot great that I wouldn't hesitate to buy one if I got a good deal on one. [/QUOTE]
