PBB Helical 1-12 Fluting

[Timberline001]

23 inch .308 blank .810 taperless 3lbs on the dot. The 1 in 12 helical flutes cut 8 oz. They accidentally shipped it first without fluting so I was able to weigh exact weight reduction.

I believe this is an 8 twist

What’s the weight compared to the factory barrel it’s next to?

Well id assumed that their hybrid lite profile matched the tikka lite. Guess I was wrong.

It's a bit thicker.

23.25" 25 prc

Vs

24.3" 300 mag factory tikka lite

Pbb is 0.1 oz heavier.

Looks good though

Anyone have a report on how these fluted barrels shot?

First post here. Following up on this thread. I am considering a 26" taperless 900 with helical flutes from PBB for 7 RM build. How are these barrels shooting for y'all?

I just received my PBB barrel with 1-12 helical fluting. I've never been real wild about fluting but I decided to give this one a try to cut weight. 20", tikka hybrid contour (similar to 0.75" taperless), 7 SAW II. Weight is right at 33 oz. Like a previous poster showed, it comes out about the same weight as a factory tikka barrel. I am really liking it.
