[QUOTE="308 nate, post: 147515, member: 1920"] JFC, My recommendation on barrels would be either the Broughton 5C's or the rock Creek 5r's. I would probably go 9 twist with Broughton and 9.5 with the Rock Creek. Barrel length....28-29" you could start with 29" and then move the chamber ahead once the barrel is loosing accuracy. Contour.... I kinda like the Palma contours as they have a little more length of straight cylinder on the breech end which allows the barrel to be set back a few times. The number 5 contours are also good contours. Muzzle brakes.... Of course since I make muzzle brakes, I'm going to recommend my own [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] but the D.E and Holland brakes are also good quality brakes. I also offer my "V" brake in .875 and 1. I can match barrel contour in between sizes without changing port sizes for no additional cost. Here is a picture of a "V" brake I just installed on a rifle with a muzzle dia. of .890 FWIW, 308nate [img]http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m311/308nate/tmb2.jpg[/img] [img]http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m311/308nate/tmb3-1.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
