[QUOTE="jrfoltz89, post: 1885594, member: 113638"] Wow, sorry for the late replies guys and thanks for the welcomings! I'll try to answer all questions but let me know if i missed anything. I'm located in Butte as i work in the environmental remediation field and there's a century's worth of work to be done here. Thanks for the suggestions about Muzzle Brakes and More, I've been in contact with him and after a bunch of review looks like the Lil Beast Max Port will be the way i go. My next problem will be finding a reputable gunsmith in the area to install it so i dont lose accuracy (though i know point of impact will change). I dont handload (yet) but i've found a factory 200gr Norma load that will produce subMOA groups so I think she's probably worth building up. Im not looking to make it into a $10k build or anything like that, just a rifle i can shoot 800 yds with if i have to reach out that far while hunting. Honestly as a recent college grad i'd like to keep the entire thing under 2000 if possible. The scope was a birthday present and decent enough that im going to use it for now but plan on upgrading when i see a good deal on something better. What have the negative reports on the DNZ mounts been saying? I looked into them and found the vast majority of reviews positive. A link to an article would be appreciated here. I have a nikon 1000 yd rangefinder already and solid hearing protection, in addition to the recoil i'm looking at the brake to reduce barrel jump for follow up shots and to see where game goes after the shot. Thanks again for all the suggestions! [/QUOTE]
