[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 633370, member: 10306"] The problem with removable brakes is that they change your point of impact usually. That means that you need to check your zero if you pull it off or put it back on. Im not a fan of that. Since your backpacking, I would look at the .338-.378 in a weatherby accumark as well. Pretty much ready to go for 1000 yards out of the box (after bedding). The other route that I have gone is to buy a Rem XCR in .338 RUM and put in some real elbow grease getting it to shoot. Im comfortable to 1k with mine, but I need alot of time for set up... its a pretty light gun. Alot of manufacturers are starting to make Lapua's now, which is great. The Lapua is a great cartridge and if you choose that route you wont be sorry. When I bought my .338 RUM they only had the Sako's offering the Lapua and that was out of my price range. Whatever you do dont skimp on optics! Like liltank says nightforce, leupold or vortex. turrts are a must IMO, just make sure they have a zero-stop. I have a Mark 4's and a Vortex PST and I have only ever bumped the turrett on the M4 once, and only 1/4 MOA... and that was because it was in and out of my eberlestock scabbard. [/QUOTE]
