[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1322607, member: 55230"] Why would anyone run a 20rnd string on any hunting rifle? Furthermore I merely suggest a more economical method for lightening up his rig, based on the fact that at the moment a proof barrel exceeds the cost of his entire rifle. Sometimes the cool factor exceeds the functional and practical factors. Yes fluting is subjective, plain and simple, and to think differently is obtuse. Barrel diameter, depth, # of flutes, style of flutes all factor into overall reduction. Yes you are correct its a matter of ounces but whats the difference between steel sporter at 2.8lbs, heavy sporter at 3.2lbs and sendero carbon 3.2lbs? ... ounces. BTW a proof sendero is less rigid than a standard sendero contour. To get the rigidity of a sendero you will need a full bull proof, even then I don't know if it is as stiff (haven't uncovered that info yet). PRS isn't an old timers sport and carbon barrels, though common, are no where near the majority.. so to portray them as popular is a misnomer. Hell they aren't even 25%. [/QUOTE]
