I rem back a few years ago that fluted barrels were hot sellers. Does any produvction companies (rem, win, tikka, t/c, etc.) Make them still? Preferably in calibers .25-06, 7mm08, 280
Remington currently offers some chamberings with fluted barrels. There may be more manufacturers who do, though I'm not aware of them at the moment.
There is quite a bit of information out there debating the need for fluted barrels. Generally, I'd sum it up by saying, "There is little need for a fluted barrel on a hunting rifle."
The new South Carolina made FN Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather's have fluted barrels. I have one in 270 Winchester that is proving to be very accurate.

A golf course is a willful and deliberate misuse of a perfectly good rifle range.
Remington has a few like a model 700 CDL SF and my model 7 predator has a flutted barell

you going sheep hunting? sounds like it would be a sweet setup...
used it on any game yet? how do you like it?
I think I need a sako or two in the near future!
No plans on sheep hunting in the visible future. It's a sweet shooting, lightweight rig to be sure. So far, it's only been deer hunting but I've had zero issues. Love it! It's my second Sako and I've also had 3 Tikkas.
