[QUOTE="Dr. Richard Gray, post: 1778566, member: 111239"] Leave it alone! If you don't like it, sell it to someone that will appreciate it for what it is, a fine shooting accurate rifle. I can't believe that you honestly want to flute this barrel for 8-12 oz of weight. Give me a break. The rifles I have, the heavier the more i like them. I have 2 Winchester 30-30's, 26" octagon barrels. Both very accurate at 200 yds and a dream to shoot. They weigh between 10-11 lbs with scope. My Ruger Hawkeye .375 weighs between 7-8 lbs and kicks like Missouri mule, with a factory brake. If weight is your main concern you might take a look at either the Winchester .270 or a Weatherby .270 magnum. Both run in the neighborhood of 8-9 lbs. [/QUOTE]
