[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 718939, member: 2736"] Turning down a fluted barrel is a chore because of the interrupted cut and the possibilities of ruining the barrel all together, so I dont recomend it. I have turned down unfluted barrels and they seemed to shoot better because of straightness. (Most barrels come from the barrel maker with some runout and if done properly they will have none). If the rifle shoots well there are other ways to lighten the rifle. A good carbon fiber stock and a light weight scope. (Some scopes weigh over 4 pounds) so a good scope that weighs less than 2 pounds and a good lightweight stock can remove 3 to 4 pounds without sacrificing accuracy. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
