to BOSS or not?

RE: to BOSS or not?
I've tested a bunch of rifles both with boss and without and it works. It is mainly for the person that don't reload as it adjusts vibration harmonics similar to working up a load when handloading-the bullet exiting bore at a certain spot in vibration cycle. I would reccomend it for top notch accuracy but be sure and use cr module.

You can get a rifle to shoot nice little groups with a boss but most Abolts shoot nice little groups anyway. I find it is more hassle and a gadget then something worthwhile. On top of that it is ugly as are all muzzlebrakes.

I guess a follow-up question is in order. Do you reload? If so, you don't need a BOSS system.

thanks for the replies. yesterday i bought the LHA-bolt SS .270 "without" the boss. for having a synthetic stock, this is a real nice rifle. i'm going to see how well it shoots factory loads. if i'm not satisfied then i'll get the loading dies and such. and try to find the time to develope a load.

RE: to BOSS or not?
Having owned one BOSS equipped rifle,I will never own another.The accuracy was no better with the BOSS than with a proper handload,the velocity was lower due to the shorter actual barrel on the BOSS equipped rifles,and the BOSS kept coming loose and changing the point of impact.
