Nightforce had pkg the wrong scope from the factory, however their customer service is great, now need some sunshine to dry out our range.

those fish gill muzzle brakes are killers on your ears, I have some of the best hearing protection, when I shot the 06, I could only take it for 3rds, took the brake off and installed the flash hider

do you really even need the break? i mean its a semi auto that will eat a lot... and the things weigh a TON

How much does your Noreen weigh ?

I've had heavier 308 DPMS guns than the Noreen I have on hand right now

its the .338 Lapua, and I'd have to go put a it on a scale which i dont have, i just know that sob is HEAVY... WAY heavier than anything else i've shot. also a giant of rifle

Ok now that I think about it, my cuz has a Rhino .308 Ar platform, that is almost as heavy but not quite.

Maybe you got one of the early models ?

The latest addition to their Bad News lineup is the Long Range Assassin which is 9 lbs.

The "fish gill" muzzle brake is an ear killer however it definitely keeps muzzle rise to a minimum and makes overall felt recoil very manageable.

I'm not a big guy - under 6 foot and under 200 lbs but I was no worse for the wear on mag dumps
