[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1263666, member: 12193"] I have an Accumark in 338-378 that's not too bad to carry. It has a 26" barrel with a .720" diameter where the brake threads on. With the 5/8" thread tenon there isn't much room left for the shoulder of the brake to seat against the barrel. It's ok the way it is, but I surely wouldn't go any smaller if you're planning on a brake. A Sendero contour with nice deep flutes wouldn't be bad. A number 5 might also be a good choice but gets pretty skinny out at 26" or beyond. A #5 from Pac-Nor is only .700" at the muzzle when cut to 26". I haven't weighed it but Weatherby says this gun weighs 8.5 lbs without a scope on it. [/QUOTE]
