[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 597140, member: 4191"] I'm fluting for weight reduction. Krieger told me about 6 oz weight reduction is gained by fluting. I think I read on Lilja's web site where they stated approximately 8 oz weight reduction. I can go one profile larger in size and end up with approximately the same barrel weight as the next smaller contour barrel. And the barrel will be stiffer than the smaller contoured barrel. Which is why the barrel I just ordered from Obermeyer will be fluted. My hunting rifles are packing rifles and 6-8oz does make a difference - for me. [/QUOTE]
