[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 506664, member: 22242"] I dont think you need a brake at all. although a brake makes a rifle very pleasant to shoot and they look cool. there are a lot of different styles and add a nice custom touch. draw back is they are very loud and if you have a round brake opposed to a side port brake then shooting prone can get a little dusty.. timney makes a great trigger I use them and love them on my rifle i went with a 26 I now wish I had gone longer like 27-28 but it depends on what your going to use the rifle for honestly another 2 inches isnt much weight but it is a good bit of gained velocity. so unless you are trying to shave weight anywhere you can (which with a #5 bbl i assume you are not) I would go 26. What stock are you going to use? I have a greybull and I love it. I will buy more when needed for sure.. One thing that you may consider is getting a chamber reamer thats slightly tighter than sammi spec. if you have your cases measure the neck thicknesses if they are consistent then get a little tighter neck or if you neck turn then turn them and order with the approriate amout of clearance. and if you plan on shooting a longer bullet like the 168 bergers of smk's something along those lines have them throat it for whatever bullet you are hoping to use. other than that it sounds like you have a sweet built in the works. i reccomend investing in a set of redding bushing dies.
