Sure have. Glad I've also got some help here though.

Yeah I guess you're right. I'd rather have that done than shorten the barrel.

To be honest I'm a little reluctant to send my gun to this guy now so I may just have to accept it and get another smith to do the barrel job. As long as removing that amount of barrel and re crowning won't ruin a sweet gun. Is there any risk in this?

Haven't been able to follow up due to lack of internet. Thanks for everyone's help so far. Here are some images in response to some of the replies. Pic of brake. Note how much bigger back hole is. It seems to have had alot of the shape removed due to drilling out to thread barrel in: I...

Yeah I'll measure them when I get home tonight and put it up here. Thanks for all your help so far. It's been doing my head in.

I've since learned the guys a backyard gunsmith probably self taught. Perhaps I just take the hit and...

Yes you're right. That never crossed my mind.

Ernie are you saying you can shoot large calibre rifles accurately without loading the bipod or holding the foreend by way of hand and/or sling wrap? Without a muzzlebrake too?

Haha. An enlightening moment. Sorry Aussies :D

Must be an Aussie. You can't understand them even when it's written down ;)

I'm shooting a Rem7mmMag Sendero. What I don't understand is how do you shoot off any of these sticks without being able to do the equivalent of loading the bipod. I would think I'd have terrible muzzle leap. In the picture of Ernie Bishop perhaps he's not shooting with both hands at the back...
