Which barrel is lighter?
Both are stainless factory 24" 30-06's in Rem 700 recievers....
looks are decieving....the unfluted barrel is lighter by one ounce....seems Remington uses a bigger barrel for thier fluted sporters.....it's .062" bigger at the recoil lug and .082" bigger where the flutes begin nearest the reciever. They are both .640"ish at the muzzle.....and both will be twisted out tomorrow....
I don't really care about the fluting. My question is " What are you building now?"
