Big Buck, post what you find with the US869. I am following this closely. On the subject of Muzzle Brakes, I have been thinking about a brake if I can find one that won't blind and/or deafen my spotter (maybe won't need a spotter if the brake calms things down enough.) Is there such a thing? rc[/quote
I will be glad to share my outcome with you only thing is I'm tied up with work right now so I don't know when I'll get to shoot well I should be able to labor day
About the muzzle break I got mine from shawn at defensive edge he told me that if your in the right postion you can spot your shots as close as 500 yrds I will say this his break made my 300rum using 210 bergers kick like or less than a 7mm-08 and .308 I shot my rifle then my inlaws .308 that had 150 grainers so I didn't kick at all and I thought my BIG 30 kicks less the only thing I would reccomend is that you get a cap that will protect the threads so when your hunting old horns and he don't always hang out at 500-1000 yrds you want have to worry about your ears hunting in the thick stuff
One of the best things I've ever done for my rifle was put shawns break on it, worth every penny!
