[QUOTE="WYO300RUM, post: 2143215, member: 32631"] I just put a Witt Machine clamp on brake a Weatherby Vangaurd 300 Win Mag that is very light weight with pencil barrel. Kicks worse than my 300 Rum. I was at the Weatherby factory/shop few months ago and bought 2 of their "2nd's" stocks for $20 each. Paint jobs weren't perfect. A deal to me. They were lighter than plastic factory stock but had a better recoil pad on them. I put new stock on and the brake. Recoil was a little better but still nasty. Especially the 5th shot when brake blew off. Lol. I found it exactly 50 yards downrange. I used loctite on barrel and screws threads. Even tightened more than spec. The next time I used a lot of loctite on barrel. Shot it Fri. and it stayed on. With Hornady 200 gr. The recoil is still nasty. I'm not recoil sensitive either. I guess I'll have to get the barrel threaded. I have a half inch Magnabrake I had on my Rum that cut recoil 40% I can put on it. [/QUOTE]
