Re: fluting a mounted barrel
RAD Custom, I appreciate the thread, didn't mean to sound like a dick... I do like to read other's opinions. I'm just basing this on extensive research that says otherwise.
Re: fluting a mounted barrel
I love how people become experts on a subject because they read a few forum posts. As I stated in my first response these are my preferences based on legit research on published data. It doesn't have to be your rifle. Just simply what I suggest. That's the one...

Re: fluting a mounted barrel
Really depends on the manufacturer of the barrel and brand of the rifle. But unless you go with the top of the line barrel, you can easily have ordered that simply has to be tightened up to your action for 300-350 tops. Again, NOT TOP OF THE LINE. But certainly...
Re: fluting a mounted barrel

OK, so this week I went into my gun dealer looking for a .300WinMag and came across a find. They had a brand new Weatherby Mark V .338 Magnum, with the Accubrake already installed for $1,450. And a new Remington 700 Police series .338 Lapua Magnum for $1,250.
The Weatherby felt amazing... very...

Aftermarket Lug $30
Muzzle Brake $200
