I was wondering what the advantage of bedding and fluting are?

First you ask her to play your flute, then you get her in bed....is that what you mean?

IBTL! Oops, sorry I thought it was a sex thread.

Thats not what i meant but I'll have to remember that.

There is a General Firearms section that might give you more feedback.

But in brief, fluting on a barrel is supposed to allow for quicker cooling due to greater surface area.  There is some controversy about these alleged benefits.

Bedding is used to firmly attach a rifle's action to a stock.  The barrel is then usually freefloated, i.e., it doesn't touch the inside of the forearm.  This allows the barrel to vibrate naturally when it is shot without being influenced by touching the stock.

Bedding definitely improves most rifles' accuracy.

Thanks that was the advice I was looking for not the whole sex view.
