@Bghunter338Looking for a smith to flute the barrel on a M77 MKii .300 win mag. Closer to Boise the better.
I like the aesthetic and its a heavy contoured Bartlien so its not the factory pencil barrel.To each their own, fluting a sporter contour barrel isn't going to save you a noticeable amount of weight, "benefit" is cosmetic...
By the time you pay shipping, and the cost to re-blue you're probably around four bills.
I dont trust myself removing a barrel and reinstalling and can't get a smith to respond to me about removal and install.It's just a barrel. Easy to ship. LRI (Long Rifles Inc.) Sturgis, SD does great work at reasonable prices. No nonsense, and fast turn-around. Lots of fluting choices, too.
