Talk to jay.sharkbait, he's got a pretty good looking brake for sale.  You'd still have to find someone to thread the barrel maybe.

Mike Pallazzo is in maple valley or thereabouts. Old Italian rifle smith who used to work for beretta. Pallozzo Precision.

Palazzo does great work and reasonably fast.  Great guy, have had him  do a few things for me after my other rifle smith in Renton retired.

Cloward?
I might've spelled that wrong.

If your rifle is a Weatherby and fairly new 5-10 years old have Weatherby put on there brake out of the
custom shop, I think retail is about 170.00 plus some shipping, that way you still have a accuracy guarantee.
It will include a thread protector. If anybody else brakes a factory Weatherby all guarantees are off!!
If it is not a Weatherby, Either have Mag-na-brake or Diamond T (Shawn Thomason) out of Craigmont Idaho do it
they do great work. All the guys mentioned Cloward, Cowen are retired. :tup:
