PVA Taperless Tikka Pre-fit weights

[pods8 (Rugged Stitching)]

How has your time on this barrel been?

I'm getting ready to order the same barrel or (another) .750 taperless with spiral fluting.

I think the .680 will get me under 9 lbs with a few other tweaks I want to do anyway.

Haven’t shot it yet, sorry no useful feedback yet.

PVA .680 Taperless 18" 6 Creed with 6 straight flutes is 31.45 oz.

PVA .680 Taperless 18" 6 Creed with 6 straight flutes is 31.45 oz.

Looks like 2oz lighter with flutes vs no flutes for that configuration.

Yeah its real close to my unfluted 22 Creed PBB barrel (32.25oz), which would probably be lighter in 6 Creed. By the time I add an OG adapter for the 6.5 OG it will probably be the same or more.

I was commenting versus my pva barrel which is exactly the same (PVA .680 Taperless 18" 6 Creed) but non-fluted, its 2oz more (33.4oz).

I got yah, I just jumped ahead with more chatter.

The UM OG adapter for 1/2" to 5/8" is only .4oz so the .680 taperless is still lighter than the PBB Hybrid.
