Re: Vote, Muzzle device on your rifle

Some do, some don't... Can I vote twice?

Re: Vote, Muzzle device on your rifle

All of my match rifles do. It's not that I can't handle the massive recoil of the .260, it's just that I like as little recoil as I can have so I have the best chance at spotting my own shots and for recoil to move things around as little as possible when I'm shooting from awkward positions.
 
Re: Vote, Muzzle device on your rifle

I've got one on a 7 WSM right now.
I've got a 6.5x47L and a .260 in the works, and both will have brakes.
 
Re: Vote, Muzzle device on your rifle

Prefer a can over a brake but prefer a brake over nothing. Always choose less recoil when it is an option, even if it isn't "needed."
 
Re: Vote, Muzzle device on your rifle

Right now I'm running a Surefire MB on my 7mmRM, it makes it kick like a .243 without a brake. Might try a G.A. Titan next when I rebarrel.
 
Re: Vote, Muzzle device on your rifle

I voted yes because I have a Badger for my 308. Now that said, it hasn't been installed since late last year. I don't shoot tactical comps. I shoot F-TR with mine and since I can't use it in competition I don't use it in practice either.
 
Re: Vote, Muzzle device on your rifle

300 Win. Mag. definately has a brake. The 260 Rem., in the works now, has the option with a thread cap or a brake. Don't know if the 260 needs one but I'm having the gunsmith thread the barrel and time a Elite Iron brake to fit.
 
Re: Vote, Muzzle device on your rifle

I do not. I plan to in the future but I'm not sure when that will be. I'm such a noob behind the rifle. I'd like to get situated with it without then put one on.

I voted no.
 
Re: Vote, Muzzle device on your rifle

I voted no, for my bolt action .308.
I would consider a muzzle brake for a 300WM or larger for the recoil reduction and ease of spotting shots.
Overall I think muzzle brakes are counterproductive tactically. They increase noise, flash, and blast signature.

Flash hiders are where it's at. I'm surprised that more guys don't have flash hiders on their suppressor adaptors.
 
Re: Vote, Muzzle device on your rifle

I only have a 308 but had a JP brake on mine and just hated the concussion of it. The range I shoot at is covered by aluminum and im sure that doesnt help much.

Needless to say i gave it to a friend and I enjoy shooting without it.

Now if and when I get a 338LM you bet your ass Ill have one but for now I voted NO.
