[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 375789, member: 11717"] If this rifle will be used for hunting big bears in brush and close quarters then I would not want a brake on it. I would not want ear plugs in my ears while hunting bears and if you get into a quick shoot situation it will be very painful to your ears if you aren't wearing plugs. If you must have a brake, then I agree that a PK brake is not the way to go. Maybe you can get a thread protector and use it when hunting bears. I doubt you will notice it much when shooting it in the field, especially at a big bear. With the weight limit, you are going to have a smaller contour barrel, so you will want a shorter one for stiffness and more consistant accuracy ( as well as easier for brush handling). To me that spells Lapua if you are hoping for 800 yds range someday. -Mark [/QUOTE]
