I have, or rather my kid has a 25-06 Stevens 200 with the stock 25-06 sporter barrel from Stevens. And it's a little much for him right now. What are my options in terms of brakes? With a sporter barrel what's out there for brakes. Most of the brakes I see are way larger diameter. Since it's a temporary fix anyway, I wouldn't really be opposed to a clamp on brake if there was a reliable one that actually worked. I don't want a flash suppressor, I want a brake.
I could re-barrel it and go with a heavier barrel but then it would be too heavy for him to carry. What about the old school process of porting the barrel?
