Having a lightweight (to me) 308 built for southern deer hunting. Saddle and climbing stand hunting for deer and hogs. 18" Shilen #2 contour on a trued 700 short action. Gonna put a 2.5-8x36 Leupold (or something similar) in Talley LW's. Stock and build being done by Accuracy Innovations in Andrews, NC.
I am torn between fluting or not. On a barrel that light already is there anything gained. Also love to hear some opinions on how fluting looks (that actually matters to me on this rifle ). The stock will be a light weight walnut stock that I am picking the blank for. I like working with Wes and want this build to be a wood stock build as the factory stock was pretty beat up. I wanna keep the same look as before.
Would love to hear some thoughts on this.
