If I couldn't make a properly smithed #5 barrel shoot consistent little groups au naturel it would be new barrel time.

All kidding aside, if it doesn't matter where it's placed than why do you have it at the end? They're ugly to start with, but at the end of the barrel is 10x worse.

i understand the principle behind the donut, but just can't get past the sight of the things. if my rifle need one to shoot good, i'd have to get another rifle or barrel. but for the folks who use and like em', i say good on ya and keep buying those hunting licenses. to each his own......

Believe me, I wish I didnt have to put it on there. But to tell ya the truth, it doesnt bother me.
And it shoots just a tad better with it at the end. Oh well, she shoots under an inch consistently, I care more about that then havein a ugly donut at the end. It aint a beauty pagents. Thats for blondes and brunettes. Its hunting. I use ugly rifle, so do you guys. si no le gusta, bessa el cuelo.

If a guy likes them, then use them...that said, my personal view is that if a rifle needs it to shoot, the rifle has issues.I would rather fix the problem than hang one on a barrel.YMMV.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I'd be talking to the guy that made my custom. Would not be amused at having to have my custom rifle gun wear a do-nut.

Just curious, have you tried a pressure point in the stock? Seems like a pressure point would serve the same purpose and look a heck of a lot less ugly.

Ugly is as ugly shoots. |For 20 bucks cutting a group in half seems like an excellent deal. Do we trash muzzle brakes because they ruin the lines of a rifle? The same concept is used on most bows Randy

I thought we trashed muzzle breaks because it made us look tougher, but gave excess noise as the reason. Have I been mistaken?

If you don't care what the rifle looks like, why didn't you buy a Savage. Wasn't that ugly enough for you?
