I freely admit I did it for asthetic reasons and I'm fine with that, I think I remember reading on this forum and I'm happy to be corrected that fluting the bolt may have had it's origins from shooting in subzero temps where the action freezing was a real possibility and fluting the bolt gave less surface area for the bolt to freeze in the action thus making it easy to break free if it did freeze ?
Could be fantasy who knows ?
As stated I did it for asthetics and I'm more than happy with the results, it wasn't that costly about $140ish from memory.
I'll stand back now and await my flaming
