[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1452057"] I recently spiral fluted a factory Tikka contoured barrel and shaved off 1/4 pound, I've had 3 fluted barrels and I can tell you from personal experience that there were no down sides as far as accuracy and POI shift from heating up faster. In fact many professionals claim that fluting increases surface area and thus has a slight cooling increase, I really haven't noticed either way as I'm a long range hunter shooting strings of 3 or less and not a match shooter. for $150 shaving off 1/4 lb on a light contour barrel is pretty good, combined with a light scope and talley rings it starts to add up.
