same here... quick mule deer season... I spent as much time driving to/from my unit as I did hunting. Ended up tossing a pill into my doe at 500 yards ranged/ offhand with a 30mph + crosswind... end of story and deer in the truck... Helps to have a 7rum tossing 175eld-x pushed by h50BMG I suppose... not suppressed but decent brake- don't seem to need muffs with it. Barrel was 2nd hand from my brother; I had a smith rechamber to 7rum and set on my action.....not much into caring what others think of my guns

To take a beautifully wood stocked rifle and have it threaded for a brake and a suppressor?
Ruin any resale value or make it more appealing because of recoil reduction???
It is your rifle do with it want you desire. The stock will not be affected by your brake and suppressor which can be readily removed (I assume) and a threaded cover placed on the barrel, like one of my 338 Win Mags can be configured (a Browning stainless and black synthetic stocked one which I use hunting elk).
I also have a beautifully stocked and engraved 338 Win Mag that I leave alone. The man sold me the rifle at considerably less than market value. Thinking back he wanted me to have it.
I did purchase a Browning stainless and black plastic stock rifle to hunt with in the mountains of Utah near in the eastern Unita mountains. That rifle has signs of hiking all over through the rocks, etc with my brother. View attachment 224774 That is my "collectors grade" 338 Win Mag, engraved, etc
