I have two Rem 700's with stainless fluted barrels... They look cool. They may take off a small amount of weight... They look cool... They surely throw a monkey wrench into the consistency of heating and cooling cycles... They look cool.. I don't think a barrel needs to be any more rigid than it is before fluting (I don't think fluting adds to rigidity either)... They look cool... I wouldn't pay extra for fluting (bought mine dirt cheap from Dad).. They look cool...
