First please know I hate the idea of putting them on my rifles but last year I had three vertabras in my neck fused and now I have another disc that is bulging. I simply can't take the recoil like I used to and frankly am almost skiddish when it comes to shooting them. So here is my quandary...two of the listed rifles, Browning BBR 7mag, 35 yrs old, Remington 700 BDL 300 Mag, 26 yrs old, have a lot of sentimental value to me. Both are extremely accurate and the Rem BDL looks almost like new. I'm not real sure what the $ value is for each and so my struggle is....well adding a muzzle brake to them the lost value both $ and the pain of altering them. I love these two rifles and want to pass them down but I also want to shoot them! Agh! As for the 300 WSM it's a CZ that I bought used but because of my neck haven't made an effort to work up a load for it.
I went and shot all three this weekend using my lead sled but its just not the same and I still felt a lot of the recoil and basically have decided its either get a muzzle brake put on them or give up shooting them. I've shot rifles with muzzle brakes and its amazing the recoil reduction they provide.
Also I would like to start shooting them at 500 yds so...
Your thoughts are much appreciated.
