i never said i needed a break to shoot. I asked if i should cut the barrel or leave it long. i am not askin advise on what gun to shoot, simply..cut or leave it long?
I answered your question and then I advised against it unless you are prepared to wear hearing protection in the field.
Did you bother to read this post?
Depends on if you want the same overall barrel length or if you are willing to put up with the added length of the brake. The brake will add about 1 - 2 inches of over all length to your barrel depending on what brake is installed. So, if you don't cut the barrel down and you have a 24" barrel right now you will end up with about a 26" barrel. If you want to keep the same over all length to your barrel then you would want to cut the barrel the length of the brake.
What cartridge is this rifle chambered for?
Before you add a brake to your rifle ask yourself if you are prepared to wear hearing protection in the field.
IMO if you need a brake to shoot a rifle then you are over gunned.
