I have shot guns with the boss system and as they appear to work somewhat as designed, it is usually at the expense of sacrificing barrel length and therefore velocity, which is something you want to maintain for LR shooting. The "Boss" is 4 or 5" in length and is not considered in the total length of a barrel. I mean a boss, in my opinion, is not the most effective brake system nor is it necessary as an accuracy additive to most guns. I've shot them on .338's and 7 mags and really didn't see where they reduced recoil. All they did was make noise. But that's just my experience. Maybe yours will be different.

Just something else to think about... The action you choose is something of your own preference for your desired use because a 180 grain .30 caliber bullet traveling 3000fps has the same terminal effect if it is coming out of a long case or a short case.

Good luck with your choice.
