Yes, the barrel was fluted strictly for modest weight reduction.
The first 222 I owned was a an absolutely georgous BDL. Way too nice for me to use/abuse. So I sold it to help fund this.
Give it a couple of years and it will not be snazzy.
Going to range this morning to dial in the leupy and then it will be off to the ranch to get some work done. There was a coyote out there over the weekend...maybe he will show himself again.
