For what it's worth. If you go with a varmint contour with a 26" barrel I'm not sure you will need a brake. The 112 I got from Jim Briggs had a stainless fluted 26" varmint contour barrel with a BVSS stock. It was very comfortable to shoot without a brake. IMHO a 7MM Magnum was made for a 26" barrel. If you do need a brake I would definitely consider one from Devin Sinner. He does good work and you don't have to wait three months like some other places!
