[QUOTE="ricka0, post: 67606, member: 3086"] [ QUOTE ] The first thing I am planning to do with this rifle is send it out to get accurized, and have a sako extractor and a tactical bolt handle put on. [/ QUOTE ] The tube is the most important - I would get a new barrel and trigger job first. All my 50 BMG's have brakes that screw off. I'm no smith but I'm sure it can be done on a WinMag.

I think the WinMag barrel will last longer - if that's a factor. I can shoot my 300 RUM all day off hand with no brake. Prone would be painful.
