18 years ago!!, I had a 6.5 BRM built as my new born son's first rifle. Excellent round that can be loded as a plinker up to big game. The rifle - though UGLY - has been an accurate fun tool. As a handgun hunter, I have went through several stages - from bolt action handcannons to my now favorite Bowen ruger single actions. Shoot a braked single shot to see if you care for the brake. On a single shot, muzzle rise a quick follow ups are not a hunting issue. The brake will be louder but you may not care. Happy to share reloading info if you get the gun.
