Muzzle brake yes , makes the rifle more shootable which means more practice with it and better performance when it counts .

The 300 WBY is not a bad caliber. For a few years it held the 1,000 yard benchrest record.
Hope to see you out there as soon as you get it done.
I ordered HS precision bottom metal today, and now just trying to narrow down the muzzle break. I've had good luck with the Vias break and Shrewd. I think this is my last decision to make, then it's time to start paying for all of this. My wife and credit card are already unhappy with me.
Nice! Mark builds great rifles.
I vote yes (hell yes) on the break. I also recommend Harrell's Brakes. Every bit as nice as the other at a much better price. The non-radial brakes are better when prone too.

I really enjoy my m11 brake , nobody around enjoys it but does a great job behind the gun. Only reason I'm taking mine off is to put the can on
There is a brake test over on the precision rifle blog . They tested a dozen or so brakes and the top performers in all the tests were from Alamo Four Star and the bastard brakes from APA . The test was interesting , brakes that have been thought as top end performers were middle of the pack . Best rule of thumb with a brake is the louder it is the better it works .
Build update. Action arrived today from 3rd Gen Shooters Supply.
It's a beauty, sorry if I missed it but what glass are you putting on it?
Learned a few new calibers today just reading this thread....
I haven't decided on glass yet. The two leading options are the Leupold VX-6 3-18x44 or the Swarovski Z-3 4-12x50. This is going to be a hunting rifle, not a bench rifle so I don't need 20x, I've always had great success with Leupold and the Swarovski scopes. I've looked at the Nightforce SHV line but they are just way to heavy for a pack gun, however they did just release a smaller 3-10x40 version that is a little lighter.Quote:
