[QUOTE="vedauvoo, post: 2547805, member: 47024"] I just completed a similar project as described in the OP: 30 Nosler Lone Peak Fusion Ti Proof Research 24" CF barrel McMillian Varmint Nightforce MX8 2.5-20x50 MOAR-CF2 Silencerco Omega 300 Ended up about 10 1/2 lbs. The suppressor has a brake as the end cap. Doesn't seem to make sense to suppress and have a brake, but it sure tames the recoil with the report very tolerable. I like the more traditional stock configuration. I'm shooting 180 gr Hammer Hunters at 3200 ft/sec. This load is very well behaved and precise. I just finished this and haven't hunted with it yet. Looking forward to a cow elk tag or 2 this fall. This brake is quite compact. A 22" barrel could make it a little less awkward. I am very happy with the results. The same thing could be done with either your favored 300 WM or the 28 Nosler. [/QUOTE]
