When you build a hunting rifle and hang a 30 -34 inch barrel off of the action you have to make some compromises between wieght and stiffness. Fluting may be one compromise. The other routes are to use a very stiff action or to go to a barrel block. Such a rifle will normally be guaranteed by the gunsmith to shoot under 0.5 MOA and in reality will shoot something like 0.25-0.3 MOA .

As stated not big name. Wtih those barrels, what are you hunting? Why not use a hunting profile in your barrel instead of a fluted barrel? You see fluting on tactical barrels mostly due to weight reduction and so called "cooling effect". I would be hesitant to lug around a weapon with a heavy barrel fluted or not when hunting, unless you are tree stand hunting and not stalking. Even fluted, those barrels are heavy.
