did they tell you the pitch of the smaller brake's thread?

Are you going to replace your factory brake, I like them for the option of twisting it to OFF for hunting without ear protection and find the recoil reduction on my 300rum is very noticable. I wont say you can see your hit, but would not expect that with that heavy of a hitter anyway. The one downside I see is for bipod prone shooting and the 360deg blast pattern but I do not shoot that way ever. After a quick search found none to be available aftermarket or used takeoffs, I called Savage CS and they were able to sell me a new factory brake.

BTW, my replacement outer sleeve came yesterday and it is the correct one. Thanks to Savage CS, they think the wrong part was in the wrong bin when the initial order was gathered. This outer sleeve has a different color, more of a brown than the silver SS.
