[QUOTE="Ron Johnson, post: 4521, member: 1761"] Guys, I am new to this site. Seems everyone is willing to share info. I have a little about Breaks. In '79 I built a 30-378 on a Ruger#3 w/ a 30" tube. Fagen american classic stock, Cangar trigger ect. It sharp reciol was distracting, so I added a KDF break within a year(about mid '80). This break made recoil less, but muzzle blast was REAL BAD.
