[QUOTE="warboar21, post: 1056499, member: 88146"] Quick question for those who shoot or have shot the SPS in 7mmSTW. Is the muzzle break removable or is it part of the barrel? I am not a real fan of muzzle breaks and I am really not a big fan of the radial type break. If the break is removable then I would like to either replace it with a thread protector or a different style break. I don't have the rifle to look at as it will be an online purchase so I am looking to those who are more knowledgeable. I am currently shooting a 280AI with a 26" 1:8" twist barrel. I was contemplating on moving up to a 7mm Rem mag but do not see that much of a gain over the 280AI. Currently I am getting 2930fps with the 168gr LRAB over a max charge of 7828SSC. I know that I would gain a little more with the Rem mag but I am looking more at the STW for better gains. I really don't have the money to build a custom and am really leery of buying a used rifle in a caliber that can go through a barrel relatively quicker than other calibers. Thus this leaves the SPS as the only factory chambered rifle I have seen on the market. i'm not a big fan of the cheap SPS stock but that's something I could change down the road. Thanks in advance.
