Picked up a contender

[carpsniperg2]

did he do the break on your rifle as well. it looks like he does a lot of porting as well. even though i don't need it on the 223 i see he is offering a 458 lott barrel one of my fave safari cal that thing looks sick

[jackelope]

He didn't do the trigger or the break. They were both done by a guy local to me here.

458 in a pistol barrel?
 

[carpsniperg2]

no its a short rifle barrel are you kinding me can you say snap if that was a pistol i like that break on your gun i need to get one done on my new 338 i just got i want one on my sako but i can't see doing it the 300 win mag does not bother me and to defile a sako would be a shame and it is a family hand down from my grandfather to my father to me and i love it the way it is. how well do you like that break? i don't know if i want a break or just hae the barrel ported i think the break would be nicer but i am not sure the one that i like and my uncle has one i think are called vialis or somthing like that

[jackelope]

Your uncle's would likely be a VIAS brake.

Mine is a Defensive Edge brake. I like it...honestly the only reason I had it done was because it already had an ugly one on the barrel when I got it so I had it replaced. I would go with either a VIAS or a D.E. if you want one...just make sure the guy who does it knows what he's doing. Mine is not that nice and clean in person as I wish it was.

i was the one tread jacking my own thread thanks and yeah that is what it is vias good break will look at the D.E. as well thanks

[jackelope]

the T/C heavy barrel is a wierd size and DE doesn't make a brake the same OD. you can't mill down the O.D. of the part of the brake with the ports in it so they milled it to a taper behind the porting. It looks ok but the joint between the barrel and the brake is a little rough. Really it's not that bad...

i see just not a smooth line, gotcha
