[QUOTE="smithjasona1978, post: 1316907, member: 91693"] Seriously. I am probably the least experienced guy on this thead.Maybe this forum. I don't know what the maximum weight saving is from fluting. Im gonna just say 1 pound. Ok. If I take two identical rifles except one has a fluted barrel and one doesn't, and someone else packs ur gear or even puts the rifle in a sleeve so u don't know which one is which, how many think that they will actually be able to tell which one is which after a few hours of tredging around in the woods? One pound?? Even if the only thing that you have to carry is the rifle and the clothes on ur back and ur boots. Really? One pound? If you like how it makes ur baby look. Do it. If you can shoot a little better because you think it makes ur barrel a little more accurate. Do it. I have been on plenty of miserable hunts with straps digging in all the wrong places. Cold, wet, muscles on fire. A pound don't mean s##t. Leave the barrel alone and get a good wide soft sling that stays put. [/QUOTE]
