Mike,
In addition to Dan's input, the BOSS system already reduces bbl length over non BOSS models (2.3" in my 300WM and 2" in my 280 FW) so if you cut the threads off, it's that much shorter. Not sure what make you have but the Model 70 Featherweight with the BOSS was only made one year so they have some collector value; it took me years to find one.
The CR definitely helps with the muzzle blast although the brake really works. I would liken it to a reduction in perceived recoil equal to about a 300 fps reduction in velocity if that makes sense. My 300 WM feels like my 30-06 with the same 190g bullet.
