What's the best brake for a TRG-42 as far as recoil reduction? The factory brake or a Surefire? Does anyone else make a brake thats better then either of these? Thanks for the help!
 
Re: TRG-42 Brake

The SureFire is nice by itself but I don't know if its better than the stock muzzle brake. If you are going to put a suppressor on in the future though different story.

Jered from American Precision rebarreled mine with a 1:9.3 Broughton and installed his larger brake. Shooting 300 grain Corbon loads was very mild. I never had any luck in accuracy with the factory 1:12 twist and anything larger than 250 grains, but for that you would not need anything more than the factory brake.

Thanks for all the info! Sounds like the factory brake definetly works. I was hoping the surefire brake was at least as good as the factory brake, I can get a Surefire for less then the Sako. Sako acessories are nice but seem a little on the pricey side. Thanks again!
 
Re: TRG-42 Brake

I owned a TRG-22...I had the stock brake and then ordered a Near. Wow....the Near brake is much more effective. It angels the muzzle blast back...so it pulls the rifle away from the shooter. I would highly recommend the Near brake...I also used the Near 25 MOA scope base.

Take care,Stan
