Removable Brakes?

[mrgreentie]

I'm looking into getting a muzzle brake for my 300 win mag and don't want to send my barrel off to have it threaded so what are your thoughts about a removable (clamp on, no threads required) brake? I have zero experience with them and none of my friends do either.

1. Do they cause any barrel damage, long-term?

2. Do they impact accuracy?

3. What removable brake would you recommend?

4. Would you use one?

I think I am going with the badger FTE brake. Seems to get good reviews and is removable.

Re: Removable Brakes?

I rpobably should have been more specific. I'm referring to brakes that do not require your barrel to be threaded. Like a Roedale clamp brake. I'm wondering who uses a clamp brake and are there any regrets in going the clamp route, as opposed to threading your barrel and going with the twist on variety.

i wouldnt use a clamp on too much room for lack of repeat ability and to easy to have a strike if bent or put on and something manages to get underneath

How come you dont want to have your barrel threaded its really the only way to go.

From what i've heard round' the campfire,the Roedale brake works good but you should have a handy torque tool to keep checking the bolts on the brake after a certain number of shots to make sure the brake don't go flying off.can someone please confirm?I do know that metal changes its properties slightly due to heating up/down....
