[QUOTE="waveslayer, post: 1451959, member: 46202"] I am curious on why you want a fluted barrel? you mentioned that you want a barrel fluted or you are looking at a Sendero profile Proof barrel... Fluting has no benefit, the weight savings are so minimal that the benefits don't really out weigh the costs. They also heat up quicker, thus causing a POI shift. I would avoid the fluting. I use a Sendero Proof Barrel, love it. Christensen Arms also makes some really good barrels that out perform Proof. Bryan Litz has done some extensive testing on this subject. Unless you want to be unique and or make your rifle look good, flute away. otherwise save the money on some good glass and skip the fluting. [/QUOTE]
