well, here it is, flame away if needed..lol, i decided in my infinite wisdom that i was selling a few guns to buy my forever gun (flame on.lol), well i got it, mounted a scope, sighted in, she's a beaut, sako finnlight in 270wsm, the only thing i find annoying is the jump and punch, she's got some bark to it, now heres what i was thinking, i have about 4-6 inch of straight wall barrel at the muzzle before the fluting starts, ,

i was thinking about having it threaded so i can have a brake on and off as needed....so far have'nt been able to google-fu any cons, and before you start, no i don't care about the guy beside me at the range, gun will not be spending much time there..lol

thanks all

hope the summer is treating everyone well
 
The barrel does not have to be removed for threading a lot of the time... it depends on the barrel length and the depth of the head stock of the lathe.

From my experiences I recommend leaving the brake on for all shooting... after working a load up and sighting in with the brake.. why not leave it on. Removing it means you may have to work a new load up and re sight it it... and all the recoil will be back. Remove the brake just for ease of cleaning the barrel.

And this thread is in the shotgun forum...

I did the exact same thing only chose 30-06 in Finnlight. It too had horrible jump to a point where the scope was hitting the bill of my hat. I decided it was a stock design problem and picked up a McMillan Edge for it. It is now truly my dream rifle and I could shoot it all day without issue. It is even lighter now and doesn't jump at all.
 
I had a lgs deal with putting a brake on my Tikka t3 Lite 7mm rem mag. It now has a BOSS style brake on it and it is much, much nicer to shoot. If you want it get it!
 
I put a brake on my 300 RUM I love it, I don't hunt with that rifle any more since I put it in a mcmillan stock but I can easily remove the brake if i want
