[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1372800, member: 97414"] Here is another thought that my firearm builder brought up the other day as we "slowly" advance towards my build. All in rifle profiling. The way a built is put together, is just as important as a muzzle brake its self. Kind of that is. Design is everything. My builder at one time, was at the top of his competitive game in long distance 1000 yard bench rest, "a limited amount of years",,, then he jumped into the F Class shooting sports shortly after that. It's was at that point that he brought the 1000 yard bench style rifles to F Class,,, longer barrels in the 32" category,,, extra long F Class wood stocks in the rail format that look like "land Canons." This was when he started to put many more trophies on the walls,,, he kept this up until he won a spot on the National F Class Canadian team,,, it was his years of being at the top of his game as a Machinist, a few years in BR, and being surrounded by some of the wizest profiling craft persons in the industry. His own custom built rifle, shooting skills and determinations put him there in the league of the best the world has to offer." Even today he shoots at the top levels of competions. Again, this is not to take away from this thread,,, it is in context to add to it since "firearms and MB" builds go hand in hand. Weight & balance points,,, barrel & stock, the materials used to make it up, and the pitch and yaw, "if that's a word." And the over all lay out. Of coures there is only so much we can do in that department,,, but the little that does get factored into it all-so assists the MB idea on top of that. The stock design & recoil pad "is" the spine of our rifles, when properly profiled with length, angle, weigth and materials that makes it up, then it "partly" adds to the benefit of the MB,,, as much as the MB works with the rifle or firearm. Of course the old saying still stands true,,, best bang for the bucks that show the best results on paper down range. Address the major areas first, deal with the smaller issues in the mix later on if they are the fault of things that need sorting first. Example might be: The rotation of the earth is important, but if ones shooting format or reloading skills are sub-par,,, then the best benefits is addressing those issues first. In the context of not putting the cart before the horse. So my build is all about my rifle second since format is first and reloading ammo is third. Each of us pick and choose what needs addressing first. Funny that my rifle is second,,, how can that be... Simple, if I can't shoot the rifle with consistany in the environment I'm in, then I'm beating a dead horse with a stick,,, If my ammo is better quality then the quality of my rifle "that can't shoot it consistently," then I'm waisting my time once again. 2 things I pay attention to,,, my shooting forum, and consistany of ammo as it "slowly gets tweeked" to make it better. The rifle build "along with" the muzzle brake will end up shooting 2 to 3 X's better then me the shooter,,, that way it allows me to focus on other things that are more important. If we get the build right, then free time is on my side. Don [/QUOTE]
