[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1087047, member: 10291"] IMO, there are as many opinions on this topic as there are barrel makers. I have had several rifles fluted and unfluted of various sizes and am hard pressed to see any material difference in accuracy, or the ability to maintain POI. Of course, all barrel fluted or no are unique in their performance. They all produce harmonics. The key is that they produce them consistently throughout their usable life. Sifting through all the information, the critical factor seems to be that the barrel maker understand how to properly build one. Here is a real brain teaser: [url=http://www.varmintal.com/aflut.htm]Varmint Al's Fluted Barrel Stiffness Analysis[/url] [/QUOTE]
