[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 654869, member: 2736"] To start with most of the premium barrel makers have a contour that will match your stock, simply measure the barrel at the brake and muzzle and match it to one of there barrels. (Different barrel makers use different contour numbers) For a carry rifle with a brake I would recomend a 26" barrel. A 1 in 10 twist will work well in the .338 rum with the 250 grain pills. Any of the ported brakes will work well just look for what you like and can afford. There are many. The Ross Schuler is one of the best deals right now for a good brake. Crowns are a personal preference some Like the 90o with a break and some like the 11o. I personally like the 11o for all crowns. Barrel brands are another personal preference and as long as you dont go cheep you are in good shape. Buy the best barrel that the barrel maker of your choice makes. I know this is vague but there are a lot of choices. PM me if you want "MY" preferences. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
