Bolt fluting - is the weight reduction worth it?

Take scope off and you will save on that and rings lol

ounces make pounds and pounds make pain. plus when coming out with 50kg of meat and skin i would gladly loose some rifle weight.

Irons are cheap, tough, light, and practically accurate for almost all realistic hunting needs

Correct, but the older you get the harder it is to pick them up easily

Just for shits and giggles, inspired by this thread I taught myself a new skill today... viola!!!!

Happy as with how it turned out. Forgot to weigh it, doesn't really matter as I know it certainly didn't add weight:D

Hardest thing was keeping count of which turn I was on, as my mill doesnt have digital read out, so one turn is 2.5mm....

If you want to lose weight in a rifle tie a brick to it take it hunting, get back home untie the brick, chuck it away then go for another hunt n you'll think 'shit this rifle is light.......' ;-)
