[QUOTE="308stillbrass, post: 1716658, member: 109919"] I have a GAP Hospitaller with a fluted Bartlein barrel. It does look cool no denying that, according to Frank at Bartlein it saves 12 ounces on a 24 inch barrel. If and when I ever have to re-barrel the Hospitaller it will go back for a same replacement with Cerakoteing. Won't be cheap that's for sure. Now on my strictly competition guns I don't flute. Number one reason is to save the money on what I consider a disposable item which will be replaced after X number of rounds. Same goes for Cerakote. Don't need it on a competition rifle. Just another added expense. It is an option to make weight if you had too, but since there are other cheaper ways I'd opt for that. It does not make the rifle shoot any better so on my competition rigs I'll pass. [/QUOTE]
