Wandered into the LGS the other day to look for powder and found a 6 digit NH Classic Stainless Model 70 '06 with a Nikon Monarch 3x9 for less than six bills. Buying it was a no-brainer.
Apparently the BOSS on the end of it frightened some guys off. My first inclination is to put a hacksaw and crowning tool to work, but I figured I might as well ask about the thing first. I hate muzzle brakes. Is the supposed accuracy benefit legit enough to keep this thing around and find a non-ported section for it?
It's not really a muzzle brake - it's more like a vibration-tuner..
And most of my customers have me either rebarrel it or cut it off and re-crown.. While the "Blue Book" gives it a roughly 10% premium on price, the REAL market is at least a 10% penalty.
