Did anyone checkout their staggered fluting?
seen it in person, its real nice,
Scotts done a few things for me and has always given great sevice, and exactly what i wanted,
Ha Ha good question! Presumably someone has used a clever program to work out the most weight removal for the least loss of rigidity.
Or maybe it just looks cool:D I couldn't tell ya.
Certainly looks like more metal is removed than "normal" fluting.
Who is a design engineer? Spanners? run some numbers:D
'Technically' and if it makes a gnats cock of difference, it would be stronger than full flutes, providing the interrupted portions are opposite each other, if not opposite 'technically' the barrel will go /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ like a spring lol
If I get bored during my next trip, I'll draw them all up and run finite analysis on the different types.
I like the golf ball fluting thats done overseas and some spiral stuff - not the spiral I've seen in NZ though.
Would be interesting the effect of say 1:8 RH spiral fluting on a 1:8 RH twist barrel?

Jeez !! Thats a beast !
What breed ?
Now that is far kin cool:cool:
Weight?
When I eventually can build a LR rifle it will be something along those lines eg a sporter
H S Precision receiver, stock and trigger.
Scott Trail at ssrnz.co.nz put it all together and its flawless, a work of art really.
Factory barrel fluted then or custom ?
Custom barrel fluted.
Has anyone heard if Barnes have the 338cal 300g TSX or TTSX, Nosler their 338 300g Accubond and Hornady their 338 300g A-Max in New Zealand yet ???
I didnt think the 300gr Amax actually existed yet
I think they decided not to do a 300gr 338 Amax , and instead did a 285gr 338 cal ( like a SMK ) , and they got very good accuracy out of it , BUT it appears the BC is not GOOD on this 285gr bullet , so still better off with 250-300gr Scenars or SMKs .
