Barrel weights
Hi all just after a bit help re the weight of 308 28 to 30 inch barrel around a 6 to 7 profile and mabe fluting to help loose some more weight.The reason for the question is I am thinking of trying FTR and l have a good idea on the weight of my rifle without a barrel.Stock 2kg ,scope and rings .890gms ,Action 1.4 KG Bipod .550 gms ,scope rail .150gms so around 5kg KG without a barrel.Given FTR is 8.25 KG with a bipod this leaves around 3KG.So have some of you picked up any barrels lately fluted and chambered and threaded to fit a Barnard P action and if so what weight is it.Thanks

Nice spreadsheet Alan!
I think you got a dimension wrong on your palma barrel. Have a look at muzzle dia, its marked 1.25"

My whole mission last year was barrels and overall weights.
I actually put together a bipod myself that was very low weight, 360grams.
The reason I went down this path is I felt for the longer 15 and 20 shot matches a heavier profile was needed, I currently run 2 No.7 WW profile Maddco's one in 1:12 the other 1:10 for 185's and 200's respectively...
I have inserted a Maddco barrel chart for you to look over, I hope it comes up, if not I will email to the boss man to put up (Unless someone can tell me how to attach images??)
Alan has me sorted, thanks mate!!
