    Any chance I can see a pic of the full rifle? I'm considering whether to buy a factory fluted or get gun works to do it. I'm really only wanting 2500 - 2550 as it is for a 400m max rifle so 16"...

    I think it makes sense if you are doing everything - carbon stock 130 - 200+ grams lighter depending on model, barrel fluting is 150 - 200 grams lighter and then you flute the bolt at 80 - 90 grams,...

    Interesting. Those black collar arms pork sword things that Ken from 55six was/is going to bring in were saying they prefer the 308 over 300blk when I asked them last year. I assume you dial the...

    I know you can get about 2600fps out of a 143grain in a 16" 6.5 Creedmoor which is what I'm aiming for. That should be good till at least 500m with the scope I've got for it though to be honest...
