[QUOTE="Elk868, post: 2780812, member: 84173"] i hunt in Austria/ Salzburg . mainly roe and chamois . and yes a muzzlebrake can help reduce recoil much aswell as silencer does. but those make an long barrelt even longer then a muzzlebrake . well i not think a barrel lenght reduces barrel life so much - the important part is the pressure . An hot load effects barrel life more i think . And also i think a barrel life might be at around 1200 shots till you can recognice . and how many cartridges you fire at your hunting year ? i like to have slightly thicker barrels . my remington 700 long range barrel is around 22 mm . i added an MTD stock and an 5 shot magazin . on top a Nightforce NXS moar 5-25 x56 with illuminated reticles . with my load it produces groups where all fired bullets touch each other at 100 m . costs for rifle and the additional stock was close 1700 for rifle and 700 for stock + 2300 for scope . thats still under what an plain Blaser would cost . as far i know price is around 4600 euros for Blaser R8 . and i m really satisfied with my Remington . i not want to blame Blaser they are shooting well and you have the option to exchange barrels and try new calibers . i own one myself in 6.5 PRC . but prices are really crazy .
