[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 636585, member: 13110"] I have a #4 fluted 26" long in .30-8mm and the muzzle jump shooting 190gr VLD's, even with a brake, is too much IMO. That makes it too hard to see the impact or recover for a follow up shot, especially shooting from a bipod. It would probably work OK with a .280AI because it's nearly 20grs less powder capacity but I bet shooting heavy bullets it would still jump pretty good. I hunt deer a lot off of my motorcycle and have had the same problem when my LR gun is strapped down on the bike. I had a wolf jump in the trail in front of me at 30yds and couldn't get my gun off the bike fast enough for a shot. So I built a 18" barreled .284 win. that will fit on the handle bars without banging into everything I ride by. Anything inside of 500yds is in trouble from the .284. If they are further then that usually you have time to get the LR gun out. [/QUOTE]
