Muzzle brakes

[Mattnall]

Just a question and not in any way meant as any sort of criticism, as far as I'm concerned it's what ever floats your boat. Just wondering as to why a muzzle brake on a .308 as it doesn't have a shoulder breaking recoil.

A muzzle brake made my Ruger Scout much more user friendly.

Cheers for the replies. Like I said I was just curious is all. If something works for you then more power to you.

I bet it did, was yours one of the export models with thread that just contained a target crown and sight? I do believe they are now exporting the Flash hider equipped models now?

Do fellow Range-members object to brakes over there? Especially on larger calibers?

I do, hate the bloody things....its called recoil, get used to it!

Yeah you're saying that now but just you wait until the aches and pains start ailing you 24/7, you might just change your mind about them

I gotta few "aches and pains" by this time of life, and I still wouldn't install a brake - not on a bet. As hv says , 'I hate the bloody things'. :)

Muzzle brakes are great, just don't stand to the side of it.

I have one on my CSR rifle. Its very effective.

But I have hearing damage and my tinnitus is not helped by it.

I think I will replace it with an ase utra cqb-s.
