[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 576854, member: 4885"] Whether YOU would need a brake on a 300RUM, would depend on your shooting style, the fit of the gun and your personal ability to handle recoil. The Rem 700 / 300RUM is definitely capable of cleanly taking elk at 1000yds. I'm not familiar with the Leatherwood scope, I tried looking up the specifications to see how much eye relief it has, but couldn't find the specs. If you use the 300RUM without a brake, you don't want a scope with minimal eye relief. As an example, the NightForce 3.5x15x50 has 3.9inches of eye relief. I see the rifle itself is 7.4 lbs, steel rail/rings is another pound. I use NightForce NXS scopes which weigh about 2 more pounds, for a total of 10.5-11 pounds. I don't believe it would be an issue for me to shoot that rifle without a Brake. My 'packing rifle' is a 8lb total weight, 7mm Rem Mag without a brake. Hope this helps. AJ [/QUOTE]
