Im considering a .224 valkrie barrel next year finished at 26-28" but wanting to keep the weight down.
Question is how heavy of a contour with what fluting pattern could i go with and keep the finished barrel weight between 4.5 - 5 L bs?
Ive been thinking marksman or med. Palma? But not sure how much weight fluting would knock off.
I know rem varmint puts me in that weight range @ 26", just wondering if i can have a thicker contour and meet the weight goal with fluting.
