Will my current build need a MB to spot hits?

[Lrdchaos]

I'm Currently building a 6.5Cm. The specs are

Bighorn action
28in finished Heavy Varmint Bartlein Barrel at 7.5lbs
Mcmillan A5 adjustable lop\cheek piece with sniper fill for added weight
Nightforce 8-32x56
Willl have bipod on the rifle.

I'm figuring this rifle should weigh 14-15 lbs. Will I need a Muzzle Brake to spot hits or will this rifle be heavy enough to spot them without a MB installed?

Thanks

With a good shooting position, it won't be necessary. But if you're building a rifle, you might as well have them install one or at the very least thread it while it's still there. It'll help with resale if you decide to switch platforms.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was going to have the barrel threaded either way. I may just go ahead and get a mb, at least have it cerakoted the same as the rifle. Even if I don't use it all the time.

At that weight the rifle will move very little, barely with a break, I have a 12 lbs 260 rem that was very docile with a break, with a break on it won't leave the target, spotting impact is very easy.
Basically you don't need a break but it won't hurt at all.
Cheers

Have you ever thought about a mercury recoil reducer. I can watch my impacts at 330 yards out of my 260ai. The other nice thing is you don't piss off the other people on the line shooting beside you. www.mercuryrecoil.com/www.mercuryrecoil.com/
