Looks awesome. Love the spiral flutes with contrasting colors.
Any idea how much weight it saves on a 20" barrel? Horizon, what do you charge for fluting bolt, barrel, and coat?
Thanks.

Depends some on what type of flutes and what type of paint. Typically spiral is 200 the paint job is 200 and then fluting the bolt is 70 and painting the bolt is 30.
Depends how deep you do the flutes.

Great looking rifle. You won't be dissapointed.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.
