I maybe asking this incorrectly but have read over and over about barrel harmonics effecting accuracy, I even use a LimbSaver Harmonic Dampener on my CZ American Synthetic with very positive results but what about fluted vs non fluted barrels? I realize that it all depends on the barrel maker yet read folks say the more a barrel is changed or tampered with then accuracy is degraded. I was just curious if a fluted barrel is inherently as accurate as a non fluted barrel, what say you?

Is that the 28mm or the 24mm diameter barrel?
I like the stock. I've only seen the laminate version before. I didn't know Unique made a walnut version.

Is the 28 mm, very heavy.
It was manufactured with a laminated stock but, for ladies, they made this one of walnut.
The laminated stock is very heavy because of the resins between layers of wood. It was too heavy for me and the factory (good friends) gave me this one, which suits me better.

Thank you,
The 28mm barrel would be a beast!
I hadn't thought of a ladies version, but the T2000 was still being made in 1997 when the UIT adopted the Sport Rifle for women.
The British importer at the time was Robert Nibbs, the gunsmith who made System Gemini stocks. I saw a T2000 in a System Gemini Ultra, and it looked rather good.

It's a shame the factory closed so soon after the X-Concept won gold after Sydney in the hands of Rajmond Debevec.
I spent a great deal of my life working with steel. The more you remove from an object the lighter it becomes of course. A tube with fluting will be stiffer than a tube with the smaller diameter of the bottom of the flutes depending on the depth of the flutes. Deep flutes definately, shallower it becomes iffy or even mute. A fluted barrel will heat up quicker than an unfluted one and how much quicker depends on how much of the mass was removed. Cooling depends on how much of the surface is exposed to air, how fast air is moving over it, temperature of the air, and, finally, total mass. I still look at it as a cosmetic gimmick except to help balance a heavy barreled rifle.
