[QUOTE="matt_3479, post: 724181, member: 23070"] As of right now i really do not want a brake. I did some shooting when i was in north dakota out too 500 yards with a 30-378 that had a brake and even though it was a dream to shoot i couldn't get over how loud that was it was unbelievable. Im not too worried about recoil unless i really start shooting the big guns. Right now i use a light weight browning 300. wsm for my long range hunting and target rig. It is all factory and the recoil has never bothered me. So i most likely will not brake either rifle. Now as for barrel contour, when i spoke with the gun smith at first he suggested a heavier contour as well figuring i wanted a purely long range rig but as this rifle will be used as both hunting and target i would rather something a little on the lighter side. Thats when he suggested the #5 for brux which is about 4.5 lbs and the #5 or 5.5 med varmint sporter from broughton which is 4.25-5.3lbs. That way im not putting on too much weight but not sacrificing too much thickness. Now if you all seriously suggest something bigger then you know i might be looking at this all wrong and will go bigger. But i really dont want the 300. mag too be overly heavy. I would like it as my main rig and for that i would like to haul it around but have enough weight that it is steady. the reason for the 7mm is just because i love guns, more is always better and why not have a few really nice rifles. i figured make this one a little lighter in case i have to make some really long hauls. like i said my 300 wsm now is really light and i dont have much issues with stability for long range but on the other hand my 243. win is a factory 700 sps varmint with a 6.5-20x44mm vortex on it and a bipod which puts it around 11-12 lbs is my guess and i do have much better stability. i was hoping to have the 300. win mag under 15lbs which i know id be cutting it close. i was hoping for between 12-15lbs scoped. i figured it would be close to about 14 ish [/QUOTE]
