And for saya .300 Win Mag - you can get Muzzle brakes if you like - some even are easily attachable/removable - for extended bench shooting - but as for hunting - if you are taking a shot at a big critter - you shouldn't even notice the recoil.
If it were me, I'd go with a Remington 700 5R CDL OR BDL. I've seen these in a couple of Buyers Club specials for about 1k with most of the bells and whistles already setup some include a threaded muzzle for your choice of brake. Use a muzzle brake and spare your shoulder the punishment of felt recoil. I spent 3yrs building mine around the mod 700 receiver. Given the choice to do it over, I'd be ordering the mod 700 5R .300 win mag in a heart beat. The only issues I encountered on my build was that I didn't have that much folding money all at once. But mechanically my only issue was the extractor. Sometimes it just wouldn't catch the belted rim. So I had an M-16 style extractor installed. I have several mod 700's in different cal's that I've never had an extraction problem with. So if you get one and it functions don't mess with it. Hope this helps? Good huntingI've procrastinated on getting a custom rifle built for my upcoming hunts and now it's too late to have one built. I'm looking to spend 2k give or take and not sure what direction to go. I'm looking at the weatherby ultra lightweight and the nosler model 48 long range. Not sure if I'm wasting money on these and should look at other options or try to find something else on the classifieds. And opinions would be appreciated. Thx
Idk if it's just where I hunt, but my last few deer seasons up in my stand I've noticed that my rifles setup with muzzle brakes really help with felt recoil and muzzle jump. On one foggy morning I had a couple of Doe's and a medium buck doing their thing along the edge of the woods. I was going to take the bigger of the Doe's when a Bruiser showed up! My Timney trigger is set at 3.5#'s which I love, but when I changed positions with a gloved finger in the guard I touched off a round. A combination of the Buck fever and stupidity. But what I saw after was after the shot, they flinched but didn't run off till my 2nd shot made its mark. I think that by being in the woods and my muzzlebrake dispersing the report the Deers couldn't figure out which direction the sound came from? They were alert and looking around, but I honestly think it was the sound displacement that let me get the money shot. Plus with the brake I can shoot more at the range without the followup ice pack to the shoulder, and longer range shots (700-800yrds) are a lot easier to getting those 1.5" or less groups. I'm pro muzzlebrake voter.I don't
