[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 242836, member: 307"] ol mike, Not sure you'd save enough weight by having it fluted now. I have always been under the impression that fluting should be done before it was rifled, but I'm not sure of the sequence or if it really matters. Guess you could have it chryo'd afterwards to realign the molecular structure and take out the added sress. I sure as heck wouldn't chop the barrel off. I'd take a heavy .22-250 over a light .221 FireBall anyday. Just me though. All my rifles are heavy and I make allowances by carrying a shooting stick with me everywhere I go. Been using this setup for years so it's kinda second nature now. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
