[QUOTE="PNW EOD, post: 1313103, member: 101069"] This has always been a hot topic, with men on both sides of the fence saying that their grass is greener. I have both fluted and unfluted barrels on my rifles, with my newest rifle having a fluted barrel. My reasoning revolved around going for a little stiffer barrel than planned, but wanting to shave a couple ounces if I could. I think this will always be an argument waiting to happen, but if you want a stiff barrel that can maintain strings of fire, don't flute. If you want to shave as much off as you can for that one shot that matters, go for it and flute it. As an ethical long range hunter, the first shot is the one that matters most, but that just comes with knowing your rifle. [/QUOTE]
