[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1244058, member: 87243"] So I am going to be working on my fathers Ruger M77 .300 magnum. It's an older all-weather model, has a 26" magnum contour barrel and a ridiculously painful stock, the recoil pad is small, and feels like a heel stabbing your shoulder with the high end 190 grain loads we have. Well I want to optimize this rifle for long range, as much as I can. I plan on eventually getting a Mcmillan game scout stock, which will help with recoil, and PTG stealth bottom metal, so I will have more room for seating with the bullet I'm going to be developing a load for, the Berger 230 OTM, hopefully getting it to 2800ish fps, which leads back to my thread title. What would be the best muzzle brake for eliminating recoil on this rifle? As I said, it's a factory magnum contour. I was thinking the APA Micro Bastard, as the larger ones have a larger minimum barrel diameter, at least that's how I understood it. The micro bastard would work on this barrel contour. If anyone has any better suggestions that would be a reasonable price (under $150) I would like to hear your suggestions. The smith I go to has Northwest Precision brakes in stock, anyone heard of these? Thanks for any input [/QUOTE]
