To flute or not to flute...

dimanche 19 avril 2015

Just acquired a Tikka T3 Lite Stainless in 7mm-08 and am planning what all I want to do before next hunting season. As some of you may know, my shoulder can be quite recoil sensitive, although this will be used almost exclusively for hunting so there won't be too many shots in a row.



My first plan of action is to get a Boyd's Featherlight Thumbhole stock (most likely in pepper laminate)



Next will be to find someone to help me bed the action into the new stock.



I also will replace the bolt shroud with an aluminum one and replace the bolt handle.



Then I am probably going to drop it off at Scott's to have the barrel threaded and a brake installed.



Now - I am wondering if it worth the extra cost and time to get the barrel fluted while Scott's has it or not...from what I can tell, fluting's only real advantage is to assist with barrel cooling.
