[QUOTE="Dr. Richard Gray, post: 1778548, member: 111239"] If I understand what your saying and trying to accomplish, how much weight do you expect to remove without compromising the safety and durability of a fine shooting rifle, of any caliber. If your looking for a lighter rifle you might try either a Weatherby Mark V or a Ruger Hawkeye. I have a WBY .340 Magnum and accuracy is superb. I believe they make a .270 in this model. Snipers in Vietnam had very good performance from the Winchester .270 and it was light weight. My Ruger .375 is a very light gun in that caliber and I would warn you, even with a factory brake this thing kicks like a Missouri mule. I firmly believe that Weatherby has the best brakes (Accumark) on the market. But to answer your question about the fluting,. You will not reduce the weight of that rifle significantly and be assured it will affect accuracy slightly. [/QUOTE]
