Looks cool. End of story.

I suppose unless you are lightening everything - Carbon stock 130 - 200+ grams lighter depending on model, barrel fluting is 150 - 200grams lighter and then you flute the bolt at 80 - 90 grams you're potentially almost at a half kilogram lighter. I am considering fluting the bolt and barrel on a bush rifle I am doing with a carbon stock.

What's that old saying, ounces become pounds?
