Thread: After market barrel fluting of tikka barrels

My opinion of barrel and bolt fluting is the only weight it saves is the load it takes off your wallet. It may be done for appearence reasons but that's just vanity like having a Louis Vuitton day pack and Jimmy Choo tramping boots.
If you want the look buy direct from the factory it avoids problems should a warranty be involved.
Ultimately it's your rifle and you can do what you want but as you have probably already surmised it's not for me.
