Muzzle break opinion

[Blcktail56]

Considering putting a break on my 7 rem mag. What’s everyone’s opinion on brands?

I prefer not to have them on most rifles. The terminator on my 300rum works rather well though.

I’ll preface this by saying that I hate brakes and suppressors are superior for hunting. Now that’s out of the way, American Precision Arms makes a nice, adjustable brake.

I can’t decide. I don’t need it for myself but have my girlfriend and other family members shoot the gun that a break would definitely benefit. It’s a heavier gun so the recoil isn’t terrible but the more shootable the better

I'd buy a smaller gun...

SRS makes some nice brakes. Ti Pro 3 port (or stainless version) work well.

Get them a .223 and shoot it with 77TMKs.

I’m good I like my 7 lol if I got another gun it would be down the road and a build for her specifically

Get them a .223 and shoot it suppressed with 77TMKs.

Good suggestion, but he's in CA so no suppressor.

it will cut down the recoil but the hearing damage on a magnum is pretty bad. even with ear pro. bc of that I shot my 7mag without a brake. that said the PVA brakes are light and have little/no concussion. I had apas lil bastard before and the concussion was way worse

Eric Cortina EC Tuner Brake or Precision Armament M41 Severe-Duty. The M41 doesn't hurt your wallet as bad but has served me well on a 30-06.

have to shoot non toxic ammo in CA.

Only for hunting, you could practice with lead no problem. The 223 is a good recommendation. I just bought a Howa mini from Turners on sale for $360. That’s pretty cheap to get into a gun that the girlfriend will enjoy shooting much more than a braked 7 rem mag.

For sure. The point is for her to be able to shoot deer long range. She’s a good shot and can handle the gun but I want her to be able to get a little more distance. She’s shot to 400 already which is farther than I’d ever shoot with a .223. And she has a 243 that is perfect for her close range. I’d just like my gun we’ll set up for her to shoot more and get out to 600-800 yards

Gotcha. Back to your original question, I’ve liked the area 419 hellfire brakes, the APA brakes, and the SRS brakes. I just picked up a PVA to try on a Kimber with a pencil thin barrel. I had a hellfire on there after sighting it in with the factory radial brakes and the hellfire being a bit heavier I think screwed with harmonics and that gun started shooting like crap.

 

[Blcktail56]

Sweet thank you! Let me know how the PVA works out if you remember that is one that I have considered
