[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 551944, member: 5060"] Was not going to post on this but ok----first accuracy wise stay off of Snipers Hide. In every egg shoot I have participated in have beat those camo wearing dudes with (black, sniper, counter sniper etc.) rifles like red headed step children LOL! Now to stay on point my smith flutes all of my tubes and they win for me. He even flutes his own and has set world records with them and shot himself into the BR HOF and almost has enough points for a couple of the NRA classifications as well. POINT here is if the Smith knows what he or she is doing then it works like a Rolex watch if not then you have a tomato stake period end of story. The problem is that most Smiths do not know how to process them and what barrels should or should not be fluted in the first place. For example, to flute a factory barrel may work and it may not because there is only so much that folks like Big Green can do to a blank and sell the rifle for what they do. When you remove steel and if there is stress then you have a problem as well as you change the harmonics so pay your money and take your chances. My tubes are single point cut to start with but that does not mean that other types that have been properly stress relieved cannot be fluted. Lot more to this but this is the short of it. Flame Suit On!! [/QUOTE]
