The more I think about it, the more I think I may just cut and re-crown. This is primarily a hunting rifle, not a range gun (especially being the fact that it's a .338 win mag).
I don't know if the break adds value to the gun, but for my purposes, I think cutting and re-crowning would be better served for hunting......I don't really like the added weight nor the added length with the break, so why bother keeping it sleeved if I'll never use it!?!?!
