[QUOTE="mark scott, post: 1767772, member: 27462"] The rifle weighs close to 9lbs loaded with 4 rounds of ammunition. The scale that I am using is not the most accurate. Also, I stand to be corrected on the manufacturer of the factory ammunition I have. The ammunition was made by Superior Ammunition with 280gr Swift A-Frames, [B]not A-Square[/B]. My apology! A quality Muzzle Brake would definitely make the rifle much more enjoyable to shoot, without adding additional weight. However, the front sight will have to be moved to allow enough barrel, forward of the sight, to be threaded. Most hunting guides automatically frown at the thought of a client using a muzzle brake. It is also hard to keep ear protection around your neck all day long. For hunting, I would remove the Brake and re-sight it. The rifle has a traditional style McMillan Supergrade stock. After placing McMillan Game Warden stocks on my heavy barrel rifles, I would prefer a stock similar to the Game Warden with the near vertical pistol grip such as their Game Hunter. I feel this style stock with vertical pistol grip provides more control and less recoil pain. [/QUOTE]
