Looking to have the barrel threaded on a Remington 700 Varmint SF chambered in 308 to accommodate a muzzle brake (PVA Jetblast or similar). There seems to be differing information regarding accuracy gain/loss after adding a brake, which seems to relate to barrel and brake combos, and obviously competency of the gunsmith used.
This is the 26" stainless fluted factory barrel (Sendero countour?) and accuracy has been 0.5 - 0.75 MOA with Federal GMMK ammo. It would be greatly preferred not to compromise this accuracy when adding a brake, but some info says its inevitable.
Can anyone with this particular barrel who's had it threaded and added a brake comment on their experience with accuracy after the fact?
