I want a fluted bolt on the tikka I purchasing from BPI. I ran across this website and now looking at having a couple other done too. My question, has anyone else this service done or used LRI? https://www.longriflesinc.com/colle...vices-bolt-fluting?variant=6829403045952

His prices seem very reasonable. If you do some searching on other forums, I have seen many positive comments. I don’t have personal experience though.

I'm pretty sure it's already fluted from the factory. You win ! Winner winner chicken dinner!

Never used LRI but have sent a few to Short Action Customs. IMO the weight reduction from fluting can only really be measured by metrology instruments. In the real world you won't notce the difference in a few onces.
As for looks, it does look cool.
Bolt fluting also aids in self cleaing when cycling the bolt. It gives dirt and grime a place to go to help prevent binding. I don't think I've ever seen a bolt gun so filthy as to see that benefit though
