yes, it looks pretty cool, was it ... "lightened" ... prior to rifling?
No Krieger produced the rifling, Dwight Scott chambered it, and I had it fluted 2 weeks ago. So it's either going to shoot or it's gonna be the world's prettiest tomato stake. It shot real well before fluting, but it was on the heavy side to where I could only use a 1" tubed scope with single screw rings. When Terry Leonard was building the stock he put this hand into a table saw and he was out of commission for 7 months. Dwight didn't have the stock to see how much it weighed so when he chambered the 2 barrels that I gave him I told him that I wanted them to be 23&1/2 inches long. So he had to guess how much of the heavy chamber end to use and it ended up being a little heavy, plus adding one of Mike's tuners on top of that, I had only 18 oz of scope and rings to play with.

who did the fluting Jim?
LongRiflesInc. Sturgis, SD. To tell you the truth, I will never do business with them again. The girl who runs the office never told me that she was going to charge me 4% to use my credit card. Then when I sent her an email telling her that I wasn't too pleased for not telling me and she never answered me back. Never going to deal with them again.

OMG, that looks so cool! But you probably knew it would make my head hurt, trying to figure out what all that will do to frequencies, harmonics, etc. I can't get these sine waves out of my head!

I was trying to figure out how he flutes it and still accommodates the taper?
That virtually had to be done in a cnc mill. The barrel's taper per inch is part of the programming so that the machine always knows where the part and the cutter are, in relation to one another. Good example of a job that would be easy on cnc but nearly impossible manually.
Mike. This is a full picture of the barrel mounted. At least now they took off enough weight to mount a decent 30mm tubed scope and make weight. I am at 13lbs 6.8 oz with this scope. I tried my 8-80 March and Kahles K1050 but I'm a little bit over with both of them.

When i flute barrels i put them in to be level with the top edge. Doesnt matter what the taper is and i dont have to account for it because its on the bottom. Sporter to hv theyre all the same when theyre flat
Chris. What Stan said is one of Apple's favorite sayings. He tells me that at least once a month.This reminds me of the old (rock 'n roll band) saying: "If you can't play well - play loud!" Not to start a $hit storm, but think Ramones!

That's right if you don't shoot good style points are worth a bunch.
Very nice looking rig there Stan!
