Fluted barrel pros/cons

That's interesting. The only people I've had flute my barrels is RMR and I discussed it with them on the phone again not a week ago. 2 Maybe 3 oz's is what is lost on a "sporter" weight barrel.

Who flutes your barrels?

Sure, if the way the Rem or Sav "flute" them 2oz saved would be fair guess. Real fluting of lets say 24" barrel of #4 contour with 7 deep 3/16" dia flutes and say 18" in lenght would save you at least 5oz-6oz. It's not a big deal to remoove 8oz by fluting long and no tapered heavy target barrels.

If you can take 6 oz's off my factory contour SS Model 70 barrel by fluting it, I'll have it in the mail to you tomorrow.

Chuck, hold on to your horses, I can't estimate SAFE weight loss by fluting not even knowing what cartridge we are talking about, there is lots of posibilities between say 222Rem and 458Win Mag. Please inform me of the cartridge we are talking about, how long is the SS barrel, and what are the diameters; directly in front of the action then at 1,5" latter and what is the muzzle dia. After that I can tell you what kind of weight loss could be possible....G8
