[QUOTE="Ben Keller, post: 1528194, member: 106918"] That’s a hard question to answer. A number #2 not fluted may be just slightly lighter, but I like the looks of fluting and my smith feels fine straight fluting a #3 so that is what I would personally do. Spiral fluting is a whole other ball game and from what I’m told should be stress tested after it’s cut. Ask your smith to see what they prefer but a number 3 doesn’t look massive and can still give the barrel great rigidity IMHO. [/QUOTE]
