I had a Browning heavy barrel varmint in .22-250. I was able to dial that in for factory ammo and get accuracy I didn't think would be possible. IMO, it's a great device.
Don't know if you can retrofit one to your rifle, though. I'd have to think a competent gunsmith could do it.

yeah i dont reload and do not plan on reloading. so i might talk to a gun smith about it. and i hear they make em really loud, but you can get rid of the muzzle break and just use it as the dial in function. i guess. but thanks for the info.

Rockstar, you're right about the BOSS system and reloading. With the BOSS system you're trying to find the right setting. With reloading, you're trying to find the right combination of bullet/primer/powder.
What I wound up doing with that .22-250 was putting the BOSS at the setting that worked best for factory ammo, and then tailoring my handloads around that.

If you have the patience to first try reloading (which also entails testing and taking notes of your various load results at the range) YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT THE IMPROVEMENT IN ACCURACY you are destined to obtain. You will never want to exclusively rely on factory loads again after that.
It's also a great way to tailor a load to exactly how you want to shoot it.
A perfect example: You can buy a small 20 round box of Corbons to practice with, at $16 a box. To make sure your hangungun is reliable with it, and to get comfortable firing it, I guess you can fire off the 5 boxes or $80 worth of it in an hour.
Or, once you know your gun is reliable with the real Corbons, would you rather buy a box containing 100 of the same 160 Grain Speer bullets that Corbon uses, and reload it to the same velocity, POI, and recoil for standard practice shooting at about $23 ? (But you leave your gun loaded with the real Corbons for defense purposes)
Same similar comparisons and benefits with rifle reloads, except you use your reloads for actual hunting. (ie; the moose's family doesn't sue you in civil court for using reloaded ammunition)
I know you said you don't desire to try reloading, but thought I would emphasize the benefits of it to you in case you just never really gave it any thought. It's a perfect substitute for the boss, or a further enhancement to it.
