[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2469876, member: 30902"] I've shot pretty much every style brake made in the last 40 years at one time or another along with several magnaported rifles. By far, the Magnaport is the worst of all of them. Very little reduction in flip or felt recoil, the loss essentially of four to six inches of barrel giving reduced speeds and the most ear splitting shriek of a muzzle bast I've ever hear. Some louder but none as punishing to the ears, even the big artillery stile slab brakes aren't as bad. Then of course is the blinding in low light. If the rifle is in good shape over all and it's what I wanted, I'd buy it in a heart beat at that price. The action and wood alone are worth more since he says it's an upgrade from stock. Shoot it till it burns out or you can't stand it any more, and rebarrel. Float and pillar bed, do a good brake in and you should have a great rifle to last the rest of your life for well under 1500.00. That's the low end you'll pay for a decent semi custom built on a 700 Clone action. [/QUOTE]
