actually seeing your rifle is what got me thinking,i really dontlike recoil and for serious lr.and precision work in larger bores[at least larger than .264]i think a brake is essential[for me anyways-i weigh 140lbs soaking wet].my real dilemma is,i like the looks of both the brakes mentioned but was just wondering which one actually works better.at this point im seriously considering building a 300wsm. or 300rum. as i have both a long and short action right now that need to be used.i really like your new rig it looks just like my 6.5-284 only i have the cheekpiece on a A4 stock.the 6.5 is performing well 4 me on elk and deer,but i need to build a rig that more suited towards elk size game at 800yds. and beyond w/o punishing myself when shooting it,as it will get shot alot.thx-dave
