[QUOTE="Bret GRAVELINE Graveline, post: 2428323, member: 108926"] As pointed out earlier A good brake shouldn't be a problem, I retired over 10 years ago so I'm not familiar with what's popular today, but changing a brake is a little more affordable than a change of just about anything else, I made my owns breaks and angled the ports forward, I set my nephew up with a 260 Remington with a 18.5 inch barrel the break got your attention if shooting over the hood but other than that it was more like shooting a 22-250, before it was a 260 I had fitted a 6MM BR barrel, that he terrorized a good deal of the Idaho country side with that little 6MM, he took 3 mule deer and 2 whitetails before being upgraded, you mentioned shooting 100 gr Barnes and Nosler so you must be a reloader, you might look into the 6.5 BR you can keep the same bolt you have and you won't need to invest in bullets you may not have on hand, my nephews rifle was a Remington model 7, it uses the same magazine box as a 700, I had a little trouble getting it to feed the BR case, however I found that by placing the spacer in the front of the mag box rather than the rear the feeding problem was eliminated, [/QUOTE]
