Looks great!

How has your luck been with Benchmark? I'm now on week number 15 of my Savage Striker barrel that they're making. I'll be honest, I'm begining to get frustrated. But if your other guns that they've worked on have all turned out well then it may be worth it.

You have to be patient. It took a while to get this one too but it is worth every bit.  Remember too that the squeaky wheel gets the grease.  Give them a call and see what stage it is in.  Believe me you won't be disapointed.  They are good guys out there.  They are just trying to keep up with everything.  I know they just expanded their shop so they can handle more volume.  This is a good thing.  I would rather wait for an excellent barrel than get an ok one quickly.

What's it like shooting it with no ear plugs with the brake?

Ron at benchmark said it is not bad at all.  He has one on his 7wsm.  He shot a few animals with it and he thinks it is even quieter than not having a brake.  I will let you know how it is when my bear hits the dirt.

In all honesty, when I have shot at bear or dear, I don't hear the gun go off.  I guess it is the adrenaline.
