That is a knock dead gorgeous rifle! Congrats!It is your rifle do with it want you desire. The stock will not be affected by your brake and suppressor which can be readily removed (I assume) and a threaded cover placed on the barrel, like one of my 338 Win Mags can be configured (a Browning stainless and black synthetic stocked one which I use hunting elk).
I also have a beautifully stocked and engraved 338 Win Mag that I leave alone. The man sold me the rifle at considerably less than market value. Thinking back he wanted me to have it.
I did purchase a Browning stainless and black plastic stock rifle to hunt with in the mountains of Utah near in the eastern Unita mountains. That rifle has signs of hiking all over through the rocks, etc with my brother. View attachment 224774 That is my "collectors grade" 338 Win Mag, engraved, etc
It's your rifle, do with it what you want and to hell with anyone who says otherwise.To take a beautifully wood stocked rifle and have it threaded for a brake and a suppressor?
Ruin any resale value or make it more appealing because of recoil reduction???
I'm with you!!To take a beautifully wood stocked rifle and have it threaded for a brake and a suppressor?

No...unless it is a Jeffery, Holland, or something of that caliber...enjoy it...
Along that line, years ago I bought a pre-64 Winchester in South L.A. for a goos price...wasn't anything that the locals were interested in. Original owner had restocked the rifle with a nice cheekpiece stock, reblued it ( no more Matt finish) and rechambered it from 300 H&H to 300 WM. (Weatherby, not Winchester). From the quality of work done and the closeness of the Weatherby shop in South Gate, I expect that Roy did the work.But if you are selling, I'm a buyer!! Especially if it's a pre64 Winchester model 70. Just saying.
