[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1728554, member: 3728"] Brakes on small barrels may look wierd but they often make the tune window much wider. A guy has to choose between the emotional pleasing look and practical accuracy. Model 7's are famous for shooting bug hole groups after a Gentry muzzle brake has been installed, 243, 7/08, and 308. The weight of the muzzle break on the end of the barrel helps tremendously. Many "Accuracy gunsmtihs" will not even offer an accuracy guarantee on a #2 contour., and I have known several that prefered a #5 Shilen contour for an accuracy guarantee on Magnum calibers with their bare minimum being a #4 Shilen contour. Bartline #3b or Shilen #5 should guarantee the chance of fantastic accuracy. Accuracy is relative, some think that 3/8" is accurate while others think that 1" or 1 MOA is accurate. [/QUOTE]
