Don't need that shinney stuf in the woods or in the open. A good hunting rifle doesn't need to be pretty, just shoot accurately and work each time. Hunting in Colorado a few years ago i watched a hunter make his way through , the woods by the reflection off of his rifle. The .338 is a good rifle caliber but I would have a muzzle brake installed. Did that with my 7mm Rem Mag when I replaced the barrel and I'm very happy that I did. I shoot that rifle a lot and it's more pleasant to shoot with the brake on. And those of you that might think I'm a woose, just remember that the sins of youth will come back to visit you in your old age, if you make it that far.
