I'm currently living in a nightmare with this 700 chambered in 300 WM and am having to eliminate variables, of which there have been countless, I have yet another question.
With this muzzle brake, the 300 WM does not only produce reward recoil, but instead, it leaps forward, which seems pretty consistent with what they are designed to do. And off hand, you can barely feel reward inertia / recoil, it definitely pulls forward, thus reducing recoil to a very nice light degree.
So, last weekend after a gun smith failed to properly tighten the Warren rings down, under recoil the scope slid forward, jamming the power adjustment ring into the bolt shroud.
Over the years I have seen what loose rings do, in that the scope has always slid back, not forward, as expected. Could this reverse inertia cause the scope to suffer damage, similar to that of what a pellet / air rifle does to optics not specifically designed for such use on an air rifle? I asked a similar question here some time back after having seen two rifle scopes ruined after using them on a pellet / air rifle.
