[QUOTE="freebird63, post: 466330, member: 22102"] I have a sendero 300RUM, I will leave out the old info and start out new. First off the gun does not have a brake, it use to, but thats another story. On January 5th I had low back surgery. I won't see my surgeon until Feb 1st and will talk to him then but am not sure he put the recoil energy into terms that might have a negative effect on my back because I never want to go through that again. One thing I really want to do is get a new barrel as I have quite a few rounds through the barrel. I am looking at several different barrel makers, lilja, krieger, broughton and hart. I want to keep the sendero contour, 1/10 twist, fluted barrel. I either want the finished length to be 28 or 30 inches and then I also want to have a muzzle brake put on, so if I go with a 30 inch barrel that will take it out to say 32 inches. I know alot of people do not like brakes and I don't care for them either but if it means being able to shoot my gun or not I will take a brake. What are some of the better more effective at removing most of the recoil??? Anyone have any advice they would care to share with me??? I had even considered having it rechambered to a 7MM STW, but that seems like it would be more a pain then staying with the same caliber, the 300RUM will do everything I want it to do. I have already found a pretty good load for it, will only be shooting a 180gr bullet so that will cut back on recoil compared to the 210 bergers I was shooting. Thanks in advance for any info.
