Hi guys,
can anyone tell me how many of the top 50 benchrest or other high-accuracy competition shooters out there are using fluted barrels? And why?
I'm talking in the last few years, like at the most recent super shoots, rather than 15 years or so ago or whenever someone first started the fluting fad.
From what i can determine there are pros and cons with fluting, with the cons far outwaying the 'claimed' advantages. Constructive comments only please - with claims that you can back up, rather than tyre-kick chatter.
Flame suit on - fire away !!!
Thanks,
Dean.
