| VAIS Muzzle Brakes? |

| HighCountry10:
I am considering sending my rifle off to Texas to VAIS Arms to get their Muzzle Brake installed on my Browning A-Bolt Stalker in the 300WSM. This muzzle brake is suppose to be the quietest muzzle brake available,cuts recoil for 300WSM by 50%, and most of all eliminates to aggressive "hopping" this rifle has upon recoil. Sean at Hooked On Toys in Wenatchee reccomended them and said he has been very pleased with the many rifles they have sent off to them. Any opinions or information aboout muzzle brakes in general or this muzzle brake specifically that anyone has would be greatly appreciated. |

I owuld be interested to know this as well. My Tikka T3 in 300WSM is a mule, and "flips" the muzzle pretty good! Sims recoil pad made it about 40% better though! |

IMO, muzzle brakes should only be installed on range rifles. They are just to loud and dangerous to your hearing in hunting situations, especially if you are hunting with a partner. Even the ones billed as "quiet". Have you ever really noticed the recoil of any rifle when you have been hunting? |
| GoldTip:
If you haven't tried installing a Sims recoil pad, you should try that first, before you add a set of sissy slots to the front of your rifle. (Just kidding bout the sissy slots). I have a sims pad on my 325 wsm in browning stainless stalker and it doesn't kick bad at all. My buddy also has a sims pad on his 300wsm stainless stalker and he's fairly recoil sensitive, and he shoots it from the bench just fine. |

I have a few rifles ;) and I can say that if you hunt solo a brake may be up your alley, but if you hunt with anyone.......ever, you are gonna get punched by your pards. sure muzzle brakes are not "louder".....but they are operating in a whole new frequency range. 130 db's at 30hz is loud.....130db's at 15K hz is painfull. brakes are for cars and target guns. a bunch of felt recoil could be your stocks shape, or your technique. I have owned the hardest recoiling rifle most guys will ever touch and never noticed it in the field, on the bench I just snuggle up with a bag of shot between me and the rifle. |
