[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 652433, member: 5302"] Called Winchester Customer Service and talked to a rep. The rep said their fluted barrels have the same outside profile and length as standard ones. The rep also agreed with me that fluting a barrel makes it less stiff. One surprised rep learning their web site said that and will tell the Customer Service boss about that misinformation on their web site. 'Twas interesting to see the picture of a Model 70 with a dollar bill placed between the fluted barrel and the forend. I just might go find one in a store, take a dollar bill and see what happens when I put mild upward pressure on the forend tip with that bill between the tip and the barrel. [/QUOTE]
