Does anybody know if Brux will flute a #2? If not I will give them a call today. I could probably live without the flutes but the last rifle I had built for me I didn't flute it and I wish I would have now. Keith and AZshooter I am really leaning towards less freebore. I need to do some more reading on it. I doubt I will ever get rid of the gun so shooting factory ammo in it should be a worry.
