[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 775907, member: 11717"] The 300 is less overbore than the 7. I burned out a 7RM in about 1000 rounds. I've never owned a 300 WM but I read you can expect 1500 round or more out of them if you treat them well. There's at least one member on here who has over 2000 rounds through his and it's still shooting very well. The brake is a personal choice. Some people like them and some don't. I've never had a braked rifle but I'm having 2 built at present with brakes, the main reason being the ability to spot shots which is a huge benefit in LR hunting. The other being just more pleasant to shoot. Some also say it facilitates accuracy because of less flinching. And maybe it helps barrel harmonics? I'm not too sure about t that. I shot my unbraked 300 RUM fairly accurate - .5 MOA or better. Maybe it or I would have a little better with brake? In the future all my good kicking rifles will probably get brakes. You should be able to shoot a 300 WM OK without a brake in a Sendero for maybe 20 rounds. If you don't get a brake, I would highly recommend a slip on decelerator pad. They work great. I could shoot my RUM all day with one. Good shooting. [/QUOTE]
