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?
 
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.
