I would only flute Rem 700 and Rem 7 bolts for part of a lightweight mountain sheep gun .... Corlanes. There is a purpose. Any other rifles - I wouldn't bother keep the integrity.

I don’t like fluted bolts because the ones I’ve had made the action feel rough and rachety.
RJ, I have seen a .308 Rem that had the case welded to the bolt face and case head separated, the barrel had to be unscrewed and the bolt head drilled out and removed to release bolt body
It only required a new bolt and replace barrel.
Speaks highly of Rem receiver strength .
