PVA Taperless Tikka Pre-fit weights

[bojangles808]

What kind of weight does it seem the flutes are saving in these? Currently debating if that’s worth it on a steel barrel…..

PVA qhoted me 3 oz in what I was putting together.

PBB told me fluting saves 4oz in their barrel They quoted me 2.8 -3lbss on the same 24 in 6 cm Tikka prefit (before fluting) in a hybrid lite contour. Just sharing as I wrote all this down when looking at options

Just got my 24 in .680 taperless fluted in 6cm. Threaded 9/16. Happy with the weight

I might have to get one of those sometime. My 22" 243 fluted factory Tikka barrel I just got is 2lb 14oz. I think it's a d18 contour . I'd like yours at about 20" I think

That d18 contour is pretty sweet IMO, especially in a shorter barrel.

Oh yeah I like it. Just wish it was a bit lighter as my guns now over 9 lbs with the suppressor and I usually do a lot of still hunting with gun in hand. It's not one of the cerakoted ones and it's factory 5/8 threaded at 22"so I'm not sure what model it came off of.
