My McMillan Stock should be here late next week, Benchmark Remington Varmint Contour Barrel should be here late next week as well (unless i decide Krieger last second). Jewel trigger is just waiting for the rest of the parts to arrive. My problem is all this will turn into a nice little 260. rem and haven't figured out what brake to use. Barrel length will be 26" Barrel and i was going to go with a Badger Thruster Brake but it requires a .850 dia, so was thinking JP compensater or JEC brake. What are you boys running on your Varmint contour 6.5 cal rifle
 
I have a thruster on a varmint contour from krieger.

They make slightly smaller versions and one of those options would be good for a 260.

I considered them actually! everyone speaks so highly of them. there is so many good options out there. The JEC's and JP seem great too, and i have never heard a bad thing on the fat bastard brakes
