[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1353379, member: 41338"] Yup, they're out there. You can find smiths/manufacturers that will flute and thread any thickness barrel and some others will not. Kimber for example has has some grievous issues with dissatisfied customers as it relates to the accuracy of their rifles. That said, I've seen at least one in 325 that shot amazingly well. I guess I'm suggesting that on a lightweight mountain rifle, a brake could complicate things, not the least of which is additional weight. Heck, Tikka has a bolt on brake. I like the OP's inclination of going 6.5 Creed as the recoil is intrinsically manageable, with or without a brake. Not a knock on brakes. Just tossing out a thought that an extra thing on your gun may not necessarily make it as sweet as one hoped. [/QUOTE]
