[QUOTE="West Calamus, post: 2035842, member: 110228"] Just my thoughts on the 300 prc. Weight is your friend in the recoil department depending on how much you like to shoot it and the purpose you use the rifle for. For my 300 WM build I wanted weight so I started with a # 6 Shilen (light varmint) and had my gunsmith taper down barrel to .925 at fore-end of stock. From the .925 mark I had the barrel tapered down to .750 mark and ran that out to the end of the 26 inch barrel. threaded muzzle and seamlessly added a Vais micro muzzlebrake. Shooting off a bi-pod with heavy barrel I added 3/4" bed about 1 " back from end of stock to take out stock flex. The rifle is no beauty but is accurate, joy to shoot and a good bang around gun. You may want to start with your stock first and work backwards to see how much barrel channel you would be satisfied with taking out. [/QUOTE]
