A few weeks back, I posted a topic asking about muzzle brakes. I decided to go ahead and have one installed on my .30-06 by Answer Products in Michigan, along with a recoil pad. It took about three weeks from the time I sent it to get it back.
The rifle came back last week and I took it to the range on Tuesday, and all I can say is that I'm VERY pleased with the change. The rifle is a joy to shoot now and my accuracy has improved because of the effects of the brake. I shot a four-round group that was JUST a hair over 3/4", which is the best I've ever done. I was using Federal Premium 165 gr. BTSP rounds, but I'm going to attempt to work up some of my own loads this weekend that I hope will be at least comparable.
BTW, the rifle is a Winchester Model 670 I bought new in 1978. I've put fewer than 200 rounds through it since then, a situation that's going to change dramatically this summer.
I'm no expert on the subject, but the trigger is quite good, and I've never had anything done to it. I've heard of people complaining on TFL about heavy, crappy factory triggers, but I guess I just got lucky, or gunmakers put better triggers out back then.
