[QUOTE="ATH, post: 2438601, member: 1656"] Haven't read 12 pages of posts but this right here was my solution. In a 12.5lb gun I didn't brake it. I just re-built the rifle to 10lbs, I put a brake on at least for load workup, may or may not keep it on in the field we shall see. This 300WM was my first centerfire rifle because I felt it was my limit without a brake. The the 200AB it a legit long range gun and the bullet performs on everything. I really hope they someday come back in stock... I've tried everything...I've got a 338 Edge which is a serious step up for >600 yards but it's heavy. That's why I lightened the 300WM, I didn't need two heavy long range rifles. My next step down was a 243AI, I love it but it left something to be desired at >300 yards on game so I just built a 6.5-06AI. No factory ammo there but that will probably be my do-all rifle going forward, if I'm not hunting elk or bigger. No brake and not 300WM recoil. [/QUOTE]
