[QUOTE="Doozy, post: 2277815, member: 102153"] Check out [URL]http://www.wiserprecision.com/[/URL] They make chronomount attachments for magneto speed v3 and Sporter. The main intended benefit is to not have something attached to your barrel, thus altering point of impact. But I asked them a question about using the Sporter for large muzzle brakes. Here's my question and their perfect answer: Quick Question: I am currently not able to buy a Magnetospeed Sporter because it does not allow brakes or suppressors over 2.7" and one of my rifles has a brake that is just under 3".
