No issues with touching with the can on. It would take a very intentional effort to get the barrel to touch the stock.

That's pretty good with an all plastic stock.
The two savage long range hunter's I've been around we're not free floated. There was a rib in the stock, toward the front, that appeared intentional to create a pressure point against the barrel (both were 338 Lapua).
This rifle came with a pretty big gap between barrel and stock. I'll take a picture and update this post tomorrow.

Yeah I sanded that off. Then sanded more when I added the can.
Another angle with can attached.
Those that are thinking this may just drop into a Accustock I think are misjudging the barrel inlet. Unless that is they have a bull barrel accustock
Just to add a reference number. Barrel measures: ~.960" at the end of the stock

Good size beefier than I would have expected, barrel channel would have to be opened up in an accustock.
180 & 195 Berger COALs
I used my overall case length gauge to see what COAL's look like for 180 & 195 Bergers.
I didn't really plan on running 195's through this rifle. I just had some.
*Some days I can't get the "touch" just right to keep bullets from sticking in the lands. Today was one of those days. At the above mentioned lengths the bullet would fall out when I tipped the rifle pointed up.
I am seriously considering running Hammer Hunters and going for more of a maximum point blank range (143gr or 156gr).

- 180 Berger HVLD were still getting stuck in the lands @ 3.499-3.500"
- 195 Bergers were still getting stuck in the lands @ 3.63"

Muzzle Brake: Seekins ATC
www.seekinsprecision.com
It's a bit of a challenge to find a self timing brake that isn't 1.00" plus diameter. I think this one works well and can be had for $85.00 or less. Find an opticsplanet.com code and you'll be set.
I didn't know when I bought it but the lock nut is designed to go over your barrel (max barrel diameter of .750"). I feel it's a cleaner look vs going carbon fiber --> stainless steel --> black brake. The lock nut completely covers the stainless portion of the barrel.
It also comes in a bead blasted stainless finish. I didn't want the carbon fiber --> stainless steel --> bead blasted finish. Non issue, the stainless barrel would be covered by the nut.
*Warning: I'd double check this would work on a 22" barrel before ordering. The barrel might be too thick. I'm getting about .790" diameter, 2" behind the lock nut. My assumption is it's the same barrel blank for a 22" model, just shortened by 2" (just an assumption).

It will be interesting to how it shoots.
I run Surefire cans so I use their QD brake that works with the can. However, I just picked up my YHM 30 Cal Resonator along with a second QD brake so I can switch between 2 specific rigs.
