[QUOTE="victor, post: 109359, member: 3361"] JDJones, I cannot get closer pics, I tried but the image blurrs if I try to get closer. I specified the flutes on the Rock Creek barrel. Rock Creek will cut them to your specs. That's a big plus in my book. The barrel has 8 flutes. The minimum amount of material between the bottom of a flute and the bore is .150. The cutter is shaped with 45 deg. side walls and I think it was a .07 radius at the bottom of the flute. The barrel started out as 1.120 dia, is straight for 6.0 inches and then a straight taper until it ends at .75 diameter. If I had it to do over, I would go 3 to 4" straight and start the taper sooner, that would take a little more weight out of it. Right now it does not fit well into my current stock pictured. There is hardly any meat on the sides of the forearm. I cut the channel in the forearm at an angle so I would not go as deep into the stock and break thru the walls, so there is a lot of upward pressure from the stock, but I don't think the barrel notices any of it. I do have a new Bell & Carlson Medalist, Varmint, Wby style stock on order. I will properly glass bed and freefloat when it comes in. I have not had time to check speed yet. I will do that the next time I have a chance to get to the range. I will keep you posted as data becomes available. See ya, Vic [/QUOTE]
