[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 1013592, member: 28741"] Well Gunmonkey, what did you end up with? I've gone through the same considerations except not heavy barrel because I stalk & spot hunt in rugged mountains, not treestand. I would not think a brake is necessary on a heavy 26" barrel, but my Savage 7RM 114 with 24" sporter tube could definitely use one. As is, I have not been able to shoot cloverleaves or even work up a load that will do that because of the recoil. Unless I really stiffen my shoulder, the scope bites me. Of course stiffening up reduces accuracy. Getting hammered in the shoulder also takes some of the fun out...I like to shoot no less than 20 rounds / rifle when at the range. That's a breeze with my 270, but no fun with my 7RM. So I am considering putting a brake on it. A 270win will easily take down a deer at 400 and is a joy to shoot. Wondering why you didn't consider that caliber. Huge bullet selection, long brass life, easy to load. Too boringly consistent and predictable? ;-) [/QUOTE]
