That sure looks nice, same diameter from breech to muzzle? Its going to be pretty barrel heavy at what, 30" it looks like, what caliber?

[sinman]

straight 1.120" for 30" then 1.25" Sin Arms muzzle break. It is about 9lbs and it is a 338 Edge

[hotbrass]

You gonna mount that on a tracked vehicle?

[ironheadmike81]

Nope, on my Choate stock and Savage target action..WHOOO HOOOOO!!!!

Thanks a million Devin, looks killer!

Looks like one of Straightpipes barrels that he has chambered in 7WSM. Last week we shot at Manatee Gun & Archery Range at 1000 yards, Scott shot a 5 shot 3 inch group with 168 SMK's.

[hotbrass]

What does Manatee taste like? ;D

Thanks for the edit. I thought you were on to another meat source.

WOW!! that is a smokin group at that range, very impressive.

[DGD6MM]

Yeah it was. We were shooting groups on a 1000 yard IBS Target. I've got pictures, just don't know how to post them and I'm also lazy. Scott used to be on this site, his screen name I believe was something like the Lone Ranger. Those Beefy Barrels do have their place.

[ironheadmike81]

Yessir, agreed. The combination of beefy barrel, Sin Arms Brake, Choate stock

and, Gracoil recoil reducer, I think will make the Edge very shootable. I, as it

turns out, am kinda large, so I am able to tote the burly beast around, no prob.

[sinman]

Mike did you get it together yet?

[ironheadmike81]

Mike did you get it together yet?

Nope..absolutely on fire to get it done, just a rotten couple of days loading

out my apartment..moving sux bad! Actually missed my chance to check for the barrel

at the apt office today, lost track of time. Might assemble it tomorrow as a parting

gesture to Razor City..gotta see that animal in one piece; gonna be a photo op for sure

were did you get all your parts from?what savage model do you have?

[viper9696]

Sinman,did you have the action so you could time the muzzle break,so its correct when you set the headspace,or is your break timeable???? with a peel washer or something?

I bought a Choate stock from a retail outlet, am very pleased with it:

The action is a left port right bolt Savage target action I bought from
Jim Briggs @ Northland Shooters supply
and of course the barrel and brake are from Sinman...thanks Devin

[miassmaro98]

Thanks for the parts info

+1

Inquiring minds want to know...

[sinman]

Sorry, I sell a timing kit for $10 if I don't time it to the action

[memilanuk]

Any chance of some close up shots of the timing kit and how it looks installed?

[rinodods]

Ditto. I know you used to have some of this in your vendor section. I've got a guy getting started on a build and I'd like to point him to some examples.

[Samdweezel05]

So what kind of recoil reduction is seen with a Sinn Arms muzzle brake? I am interested in this .338 Edge but would like to know how well the brake works.

[sinman]

Here is the shim kit

[VjjR]

does the brake have a lip that goes over the od of the barrel?

[sinman]

No, it just shoulders against the barrel/shim. It could be cut that way depending on the OD of the barrel.

[Samdweezel05]

So any comment on how effective the brake is?
