[QUOTE="Pete Lincoln, post: 73864, member: 2245"] You know the biggest reason folks want fluted barrels? cos it looks cool. thats it. When it come to weight reduction, the question that constantly pops into my mind is. " is it realy nessecary to try and get the very maximum velocity using the longest possible barrel" You'd soon drop the weight of a 28" barrel by chopping it back to 26" and re crowning. Me i like short barrels, i see no need for anything longer than 20" on a 308. my 30-06 has a 21.5" Border. Personaly i wouldn't want anything longer than a 24" on a hunting rifle, never mind what caliber. Of course if a customer wants a 30" tube, then thats what i'll happily build. Buy i like short tubes. thats the best way to reduce weight. I'd also go along with the idea of letting the barrel manufacturer do the fluting.Its the most cost effective and efficieng way to do it.
