Yeah, I'd get a thread protector for sure. No brakes for me on hunting rifles.
My cousin got one of the early SS BDL 30-06 rifles that Remington put out in the first part of the 90's. He won't use anything else and has killed a lot of really good bucks over the last 25 years, near and far. All his needed was a trigger tweak and boxes of Federal Premium Gameking 165 ammo.
