.308 bolt action muzzle brake??

[badhabit90]

i have seen some nice bolt action rifles on here and was wondering what types of muzzle brakes are available?? i picked up a great deal on a Remington 700 LTR with a Khales mil dot scope. shot it last weekend, and man it hits hard....harder than my M14...but at anyrate, i would like to tame it a bit...thoughts??

Has your husband tried it?

Seriously, .308 should not need a loudener

I'd go with a sissy pad first

HA!
i've seen brakes on 6mm PPC rifles... i guess recoil is in the eye of the beholder.

Badger Thruster is the way to go. Get a break if you want to shoot better, a pad will do you no good/difference. Been there done that.

I'll stick with reducing the rifle's movement during recoil so I can spot my own shots.

There's not much need for a muzzlebrake on a hunting rifle, where you won't be taking many shots. But recoil is cumulative and in the course of a match, recoil can begin to wear on you, affecting your shooting. Also, it's nice to be able to spot your own shots through the scope.

Did you step on your tampon string while firing? If you want to feel some recoil I have a 9.3x62 in a nice 7 pound cz550. You won't think the 308 recoil is bad after letting a few of those 286gr bullets head down range.

I have the same rifle, CZ may be great at alot of things but recoil pads ain't one of them. That carbine does dish out the recoil.

Anyway, regarding the 308 recoil pad, I have an FN SPR that I tend to put alot of rounds through and have an Ops Inc brake on the thing. Works fine I guess. Muzzle tends to jump less and helps me keep the scope on target when killing steel animals at fair distances.

i would like to view my own shots through my scope and not have to readjust my position for a second shot thank you...

thank you ...at least someone understands my girlish demeanor....

Getting a natural point of aim directly behind the rifle in the prone position with correct follow through and loading the bipod will allow you to spot your own shots without the muzzle break on a 308.

Not directed to the OP but msany people need brakes or upgraded pads for various reasons. Age, handicaps, injuries, and conditions etc. No need to be macho.
