Free: Contests & Raffles.
Some time ago, I read a write up where they tested a bunch of different muzzle brakes and the ones that provided the biggest reduction in recoil, were also the loudest so like most things, it's all about trade offs.It certainly wasn't the highest rated for recoil reduction but it still had pretty decent recoil reduction and wasn't as loud, was the Seekins ATC muzzle brake. They're pretty reasonably priced at $89 so maybe give that one a look.

I'll be buying a new huskemaw scope to replace my older one here soon, so after this last bear trip it might be a good time to put a brake on. Wearing ear plugs while hunting is something I've never done, never even thought it would help me shoot better. But I've been taking a brand new hunter w me on this spring bear and he missed an easy shot w my gun, this trip I will bring ear plugs for him and see if that helps w the buck fever type shots. Good info guys, thanks

I'm not a bad shot, just killed my bear at 384 yards, but just can't seem to quit jerking the trigger.Not intending to sound a like a jerk here, this is genuinely in hopes you shoot better, but a muzzle break probably won't solve this. Do you not "pull" shots with any other caliber? Is it just the .300 win mag bruiser that causes you to move? Finally, which way are you pulling? down and to the left? up and to the right? Is it all over the place? That said, a muzzle break will lower the amount of recoil.I seem to pull to the right, I tend to jerk the dang trigger no matter how long I've been hunting and shooting. I do, do better when it's an animal for some reason, normally. This last bear I killed I was shaken like a leaf on a tree for some reason, whet to take a shot and I pulled the crap out of it without actually firing the gun. I was able to calm down, breath, and made the 384 yard shot. Just tired of me pulling to the right and jerking the trigger. Not sure why, that's why I'm asking about the brake.
