[QUOTE="Huntnful, post: 2847440, member: 116563"] With no muzzle brake, you need some weight to control the recoil. And if you're going to drop to 140gr. bullets, you should just drop to a 6.5mm also since they have a better offer of 140 class bullets. If you're mostly hunting off horses, I wouldn't handicap your long range ability with a light rifle, light scope and light bullets anyways though. I don't know of a reliable enough 1" tube scope that I would trust to consistently dial back and forth from 800 yards either. I would put a 30mm, heavier scope on your current setup to try and weigh it down. Or on the next build, think about some additional weight in the overall package if you're not using a brake. [/QUOTE]
