[QUOTE="hseII, post: 1777680, member: 43953"] My .260 shoots wonderfully, but the barrel is a bit too heavy to hunt with. It is 24” long, set up for a switch lug, & has a timed Muzzle Attachment on the end. If I can get it fluted without compromising accuracy I’d like to do so. Realistically, How much weight can be removed? Are there any East/ South East Smiths that are known for successfully turning down or fluting a Barrel? There is a sponsor on here that is on the Left Coast, but I assume shipping back & forth would take the better part of 2 weeks. I’d prefer to have this one fluted or turned, (whatever is possible), but if it will affect accuracy that’s a no go for me: I’ll just get another barrel in the contour/ weight that’s more agreeable for hunting that will also support a suppressor. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
