[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2999724, member: 42157"] No way to determine any of this without shooting in your gun and measuring velocity. The accuracy and ballistic figures will tell you if it meets your standards. Out of dozens of muzzle brakes from one off customs to off the shelf $75 brakes I have never lost accuracy or gained it on brake alone. I have gained accuracy from reduced recoil. What reduces recoil the most will again only be determined by you shooting your rifle with that brake and that ammo. Brakes are more effective the more powder your burning down the barrel. I prefer horizontal brakes for hunting, just to keep from blowing debris back on me. I have found a 3 port is just as effective for my felt recoil as a 5 port on some guns. Again what ever your choose. You will not harm one tiny thing putting a steel base against your steel receiver. Are you anticipating putting a rail on the factory stock? I don't do rails, and many think the factory stock is too wimpy. I dont think it is, just getting the rail perfectly centered might be difficult on that stock. Also, while at it if you want just pour some epoxy in the honey comb spaces and wallah you have a "stiffer" stock. Or find an accustock long action and it will only add 3oz to the guns weight.
