AR style compensator on bolt gun?

[snowplow]

Hey dudes, we've all seen a million muzzle brakes on hunting rifles. I'm just curious if anyone runs an AR style compensator instead? I've never tried it but I have them on some ARs. I was just thinking for a round where you don't really need the recoil reduction so much, wouldn't a compensator be a better choice? Then you could put its effort, less towards recoil reduction and more towards keeping the muzzle down which would help you spot more shots in the scope. Anybody do this?

Something like this is what I had in mind for instance:

People use everyday QD attachments for suppressors on bolt and semi auto all the time.

I’m in the camp of use whatever you want, your gonna be the one paying for and using it

A bolt gun's follow-up shot is not as important as a semi, but a good break may help you see your hits. If it works and you like/don't care about aesthetics, go for it.

Why not put on something usefull like an EC Tuner Brake.

I can see hits with an ar, bolt gun should be easy. It is an aggressive brake .Then there is the tuning benifit that I like very much.

I was actually thinking it might help you stand the scope and see your hits better than a break. I haven't tried it though. Just curious if anybody else did.

What caliber are you talking about? What will you use it for?

It was a loose idea for a lightweight .308

I don't think there is a wrong answer or a clear choice.
