I have a win model 70 that went mostly unused until I took it to AK on a moose hunt this fall. After using it more recently, I’m realize it fills a niche in my collection. Going to do some load development and try some 230 gr eld-x hoping to push them around 2850 FPS. Thinking with that bullet and decent BC it might turn into my new mid to longish range gun for moose and elk.
Now the question is about a brake. I don’t mind hunting without a brake, but shooting it more than 10-15 rounds at the range sucks, which hampers practice.
This has a factory barrel and used to have an old Browning BOSS brake. The previous owner didn’t like the boss so had it chopped and the threads lathed smooth.
Does that preclude any brakes on the market that would work for a 338 win mag and sporter barrel? I could get a new barrel and brake, but the barrel shoots well and I’d rather put that money to next years moose hunt if possible.
I looked at the micro bastard brake but they aren’t available for 338. I also don’t like radial brakes due to the gases flying around in prone position.
Anybody know what my options are? Thanks!
