[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 238823, member: 4491"] as for recoil, my edge with a Holland baffle (gill) style of brake, doesn't kick as hard as my 3006 with a radial hole style of brake on it. i'm a firm believer in the baffle style is the best. i'd get one that's at least 1" in dia. Kirby makes one with baffles angling towards the rear which would probably reduce the most recoil. as for stocks, that's a very individual thing, best thing is to get on the ground with the models you are considering. barrel length is also a personal thing. the velocity difference between 28 and 30 is very little. most who traverse through woods like shorter barrels. guys that are mainly in open terrain put up with the longer tubes. i have an edge and love it. if you're getting a custom action i'd go with the Lapua. the brass is about as good as it gets and you'll get 2-3 times more loadings with it. an improved Lapua can thrown a 300 out at or close to 3000 fps. haven't smoked a barrel yet but i'm expecting 2000 or more accurate rounds from my edge.
