So, what’s the story on these Lite barrels?
I am looking at a Tikka “super lite” in 223 with one of these, are they accurate?
Can these fluted lite barrels be threaded to use a can?
I shoot suppressed always and that would be a deal breaker for me.
Light though.
They can be very accurate? The bolt action rifles above are very accurate. I have a Tikka 22-250 t3 that is very accurate also. I put a can on most of my rifles, even the ones with light contour barrels like above.
The big drawback is that they can start getting loose as they get hot. But most of us only get cold bore shots on predators, so that issue is really a non-starter.
Most suppressors shift the POI from POA from the gas entering the baffles and not so much from the weight. A buddy of mine runs a YHM Titanium Phantom which is about half the weight of my YHM Stainless Phantom. Our POI shift is the same at 4 inches.
Remember, accuracy is hitting what you are aiming at, precision is hitting the same spot each time. ALL barrels are going to whip, you just want them to whip consistently.
I have seen uber light uber expensive barrels shoot like garbage and I have seen inexpensive barrels shoot like trash. Good quality manufacturing has more to do with it than just what it's made from.
