It's an Omega Mfg. brake. It did not clock right against the shoulder so I used a jamb nut. https://www.omegamanufacturinginc.com/Omega-Manufacturing-Super-Compensator-for-308-58x24-TPI-Muzzle-Break-wcrush-washer_p_4033.html

For sure my scope (and old eyes) will let me down much beyond 200yds. I am hoping to shoot this rifle off of sand bags, it might do even better. These groups were shot off one of those stepped up 2x8" arrangements covered in 1970's shag carpet. I will shoot 200 next time... might not be pretty.

I decided to see how accurate a rifle I could build on the cheap. I bought a Thompson Center Compass (6.5 Creedmoor) at Cabela's the other day for $250, bought an older Bushnell 3200 4x12x40 at a pawn shop for $150, paid $12 for 1" Weaver quad lock rings at Walmart, ordered a M70 trigger spring...

Great, let me know on how you'd like payment.

I'll take them. PM sent

I've killed 2 bulls with a .338WM (Win. M70, Leupold 1.5x5 VXIII, 250gr NP) the longest shot was 30 yards and the short shot was 25 feet, you could say I had enough gun. Neither bull dropped where shot, both went 20 to 30 yards. I hiked into the Diamond Peak Wilderness before sunrise, and...

Now $450 shipped

@remingtonman... truth told, this was the easiest elk I've ever killed. Normally I hunt wilderness here in Oregon (no motorized vehicles) and I hike in (up hill) about 2 miles. Bulls killed there are quartered and carried out on a pack frame a quarter at a time. We all hunt with a day pack...
