Does anyone ofer fluted barrels?
 
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.

Savage is making a LRH in stainless with a fluted barrel for Cabelas.

could build a "semi-custom" through er shaw in any of those any way you want.... built on a savage action...

spiral flutes, straight, none,
any stock...
any barrel length, varmint or sporter contour...

check'em out, for about $875 I think...

I recently acquired a Sako 85 Finnlight in 7mm-08 with a fluted barrel.

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.
