I agree ammo and practice is always money and time well spent, but for this one I don't mind dropping the little bit extra to have it fluted. I'm not doing it for weight savings, I just happen to like the look of it. I tried not to cut any corners any where so why not have it fluted.

Well I decided to go with 8 flutes at .250". I'm super excited about this gun and ill continue to update as it comes to fruition. Thanks to all who gave their opinion. J

I ordered a NF BEAST from Euro Optics for the .300WM I'm having built as we speak.

Bump for the weekday crew. I've seen some beautiful sticks in the various pic threads, but I'm still up in the air.

Anyone else have any opinions?

Ok guys I started a thread here to introduce myself and to run down the specs and details of a rifle I'm having built. This is a continuation on that but the subject this time is fluting. Let me first catch you guys up on the specs- •AI AX FDE Chassis •Surgeon 1086R •Krieger 10T, 5R, 1.250...

I ordered a BEAST from Eurooptic and from the limited amount of info I've seen on the illumination is that it's now digital and able to be switched from red to green.

Re: Formal introduction I definitely realize this will be a heavy gun, but it'll mainly be used for punching paper so I'm not too concerned with the weight. I'd like to get involved in some local long range matches too.

Re: Formal introduction I meant is there a downside to having it contoured? Will effect anything negatively with a barrel of that length?

Re: Formal introduction Thanks guys! Also maybe my post was misleading or poorly worded. Greg is suggesting I have it turned down to an AMU taper instead of leaving it a straight taper. I'm still torn as what to do at this point. I know that a straight cylinder at 1.250 will weigh a ton, but...

Hello everyone! Even though I've been a member here for a bit, i figured since I don't post here often I'd say hello formally. I'm an avid shooter in IDPA and with my AR's. I have Greg from Southern Precision (Bug Holes, super nice guy) putting together a new bolt gun for me, which I should have...
