[QUOTE="Dgutter, post: 620542, member: 32130"] So I've been doing a little work on my stock Savage 111 .25-06 to squeeze some more accuracy out of it. Finally got some decent optics on it (Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50mm Mil-dot) and decided I'd like to try a brake. The recoil is easily manageable without it, but I had the opportunity to do some machining and I don't pass those up. So a few hours on the lathe and mill and this is what I turned out. Not my best work and a few things I would do differently if I do it again, but for the time being I'm pleased with it. It's definitely effective and definitely loud, but I was able to see my hit on a bird at 380yds after confirming zero. What do you think? [ATTACH]6917.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]6918.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
