[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 2640753, member: 11132"] In no way am I questioning the autheticity or accuracy of what you are stating you observered. I do not see where I questioned that. What would be the point? Its the internet. I simple stated that you do not go from, as an example only, a 0.5 moa shooting rifle, with bare threaded barrel, to a 6.5 moa rifle, all vert no less, by attaching a brake and something not being amiss somewhere. It does not just happen. There has to be a cause. The most likely being the muzzle threads given what you stated about the brakes you tried. Do not want to side track this thread with something that by your own observations is a rarity. Certainly not something to warn someone away from getting a muzzle brake. I would say to be sure to take your gun to a gunsmith with a known great rep for doing precision work and will stand behind their work for your barrel threading. Crooked, off centerline, out of spec threads are something that can certainly bugger things up leaving you with a big headache and possibly in the end a shorter barrel. I also completely agree with you on your points about not looking deeply at the scope or load. It's as easy as unscrewing the brake to confirm that. [/QUOTE]
