Gun Smith for a couple Muzzle Brakes
« on: April 01, 2017, 12:50:23 PM »
Okay I have read and researched on this site and others and am wanting to put muzzle brakes on a couple of guns. I am looking at the defensive Edge ones but need to find a good place to have the installed. Preferably between Vancouver and Olympia. I want them installed and thread caps/protectors so I can take them off to hunt with. The guns are a 338 win mag X-Bolt and a 7mm STW, they are both great guns I just want to shoot them more and I already put quality pads on them and that helped but I want this finally piece.
Thanks

Why take them off to hunt? 1 shot will not bother your ears and there will be no need to re-zero :dunno: I have shot many times with my braked rifles in the field and never seemed to bother me at all.

Huh?  I have several braked rifles that will damage your hearing with one shot. Never mind ears ringing for hours.  All depends on the gun and brake.  .308 with a quiet brake maybe ok, 338-378 Your ears will be ringing.  Barrel length matters also.

Also if target shooting out of a truck bed, don't forget your ears...you might have minimal hearing for approximately 48 hours. 😂😂😂

+1.  Especially with the 2 cartridges the OP mentioned!

Absolutely correct  if you take that Brake off  so you can hunt your Barrel Harmonics will change drastically  changing
your group size and zero.  My 2 main rifles 300 win mag/338 rem ultra both braked never hear them go off 20+ dead animals :twocents:
