This video absolutely covered this subject. Never thought I would recommend a brake however when shooting big bore Weatherbys with light synthectic stocks a muzzle brake helps me become a better shooter, no doubt. Nice Video
Thank you
An aging hunter, I hunt with a muzzle break on my 30-06 to reduce recoil. I use electronic ear muffs allowing me to hear normally until I shoot. This combination works fine for me. I wear my ear muffs clamped on my head until I chamber a round. As a practiced routine, I immediately put my ear protection on after I chamber a round placing my rifle safety on. I am then ready for a final stock. I don't take sudden snap shots when spooking game, ... the mistake of blindly spooking game is my mistake.
William -- I'm in the same boat as you; my shoulder can get pretty sore pretty quick shooting 30 06. I just bought my first muzzle brake. I have electronic ear muffs and I don't quite understand your post. It sounds like you wear electronic ear muffs till you chamber a round then take them off and put on something else? Forgetting about chambering rounds, do you mean to say that when firing you have your electronic ear muffs on over other ear protection (like ear plugs)?
I’m in the same boat as you. Have you noticed how keen your eyesight has become when hunting…?? If your hearing goes down your eyes take over. When I was in my teens and early years I relied on hearing to detect game. Now my eyesight is my detector. Good 👍🏻 hunting.
@@aoeulhs na he has them clamped on his head. So they are sitting up high and not over his ears. When he wants to take a shot he moves them down over his eara
@@troyus111 exactly 💯
@@troyus111 Still doesn't make sense, the ear muffs you can hear normal (sometimes better) until there is a loud noise, so no point in taking them off.
Thank you 😊
I use a muzzle brake for muzzle control, I also carry a 15lb rifle for that reason, I can see my fall of shot and impact point almost instantly, the only problem is that you WILL be wearing comtacs, and you will only have one shot every few hours
Interesting, I haven't shot with a muzzle break yet but I just got a Ruger American Predator 308 that came with it. I will be looking forward to sighting mine & checking for videos on subject. Thanks
No problem
Get one it works amazing for shooting quick at wounded game I had to shoot at a bear that got hit by another hunter this year it made a huge difference on getting that bear and not getting the bear also if u have new or smaller hunters it’s nice for them
If you need a muzzle brake on a 308 then maybe you shouldnt shoot anything over a BB gun
I just put a sandbag between the rifle and my shoulder when shooting my 338 Win Mag off the bench. I don't notice the recoil when I'm hunting. The blast from a braked rifle is way worse for me than recoil from an un-braked gun. Different strokes and all that.
I see for long range hunting, or in my case, my light 16 inch barrel 308, it cuts down on recoil.
I hunt with a muzzle brake on my .308, but use electronic hearing protection with it. I do have a silencer for the rifle, but its to bulky and heavy for hunting in my opinion.
I grew up shooting before muzzle brakes shoot once and done if you can’t handle recoil sighting it in drop down a caliber and shoot something you are comfortable with
@@outdoors4life884 It's not really about being uncomfortable. My first three rifles were a Marlin .45-70, an Interarms Mark X in .375 H&H, and a Mosin m44 (all three of which I wish I still had). And yet...I have a muzzle brake on a 5.56. Shooting with big recoil is fun, but shooting with no recoil is also fun and more effective.
I like a brake as I’m 72 yrs and everytime I shoot my large bore rifles it off to the Dentist for dental repairs. I’ve shot fillings out like crazy. $200.00 per range trip is an expensive outing. If you love shooting DO NOT get dental implants. You will be sorry you did. The things that come with age is a piss off.
Wow
I’m 72. Agree !
Much respect 👍🇺🇲
I know you weren't trying to be funny, but this made me laugh.
When I bought my AR15, my dear father said, "5.56 is my wife's round. Men shoot .308."
He loved his .338 Lapua
On a hunting rifle, I HATE muzzle brakes with a passion!!!!!! Brakes are fine for AR and AK, but not on a hunting rig.
Brakes on ARs, not on hunting rifles.
Why? I'm a noob to hunting & ARs. I'm genuinely curious, not being a troll.
@@EDCIndiana I know its been a while since you asked, but the reasoning is that with an AR, users typically have several follow-up shots , therefore really getting the benefit of staying on target. When hunting, it's usually one shot, and follow-up shots, if any, have more time between them.
The main reason to brake a hunting rifle is if you need one for long days at the range due to pain, then those folks should continue to use their familiar configuration in the field.
What caliber of ar are you shooting.
Thank you for the informative review. My take is this. Get your gun up and shoot. Muz brake or no muz brake, just get out there and shoot. Get good beyond the fixed shoot range and into field. Get the gun fast up and shoot over and over.
Yes
I just picked up a CVA Scout single shot chambered in 444 Marlin and it came with a factory installed muzzle break but I took it off
I put one on my 06 and love it, it does aid in muzzle rise as well as giving one the ability yo stay on target for a follow up shot if needed when getting stamped. I also have a set of Walkers Game ear plugs, same thing as the muffs just Much Smaller and as far as people complaining about the report I cant remember that last time I had someone sitting next to me in a deer stand. Just purchased a 7mm Mag and have Every intention of breaking it also for a trip out West next season
Quick question. I have a savage ultralite 110 in a 308. What muzzle break would you recommend to reduce recoil? Are all muzzle breaks super loud? I have a guy wanting to trade me for a 6.5 Creedmore stalker xbolt. Your thoughts?
If you need a brake on a 308, then i think you should trade it off for a BB gun and also take up figure skating.
Protecting your partner/spotter topic, a solution would be to have them wither behind you. or more realistic maybe 10 + yards to the side with protection.? On a gun like a 300wm, can your partner with cheap foam earplugs not take ear damage lying next to the shooter? My only brake experience is on my daughters .243 and its not an issue with cheap plugs.
When you hunt with a brake on your rifle , do you wear any sought of hearing protection ? I cant hunt properly myself wearing hearing protection ....
I usually forget but i should lol
Electronic muffs, can hear Real Good !!
@@Bullets4BucksI have used them for many years. First time was on my 45/70 lever gun. Never really noticed the sound when shooting game. Although some indoor ranges won’t allow them. Now at 72 I still use them on most of my guns. Wear hearing protection. I didn’t for years now I need hearing aids in both ears.
I'm 6'5" 290lbs so I don't mind recoil. But I have found on some rifles i get better accuracy without a muzzle break. Some are better. We just have to try and see what works best.
I like muzzle breaks because they look cool haha. Am I the only one? I even like those ugly soviet AK74 muzzle brakes better than the modern ones even if they don't work as well.
I also like brakes
Thanks for the vid! I looked into this as I am getting a rifle for my kids going into youth hunting. The hearing loss and issues is my major concerns and we don’t hunt with hearing protection as at most 1-3 shots are taken. Good to “hear” the perspectives you brought up. I’ll likely go with a smaller caliber anyhow!
Thanks for watching
17 HMR is quite loud .
I always against muzzle break till i get new rifle with factory muzzle break. Now I am getting muzzle Break install in most of my rifle
Yup then get suppressors
I’ll be hunting with a 6.5 creedmor this year. Is it necessary to try a muzzle brake? It hardly kicks compared to the 12 gauge slugs I’m used to but want to be as accurate as possible on the mountain
No, unless you are a very small effeminate child, you most definitely dont need a brake on anything smaller than a 300 win mag
Great video. If I were to get a muzzle break just to reduce muzzle flip would it affect the accuracy?
It would probably improve it.
@@Bullets4Bucks if I were on the market for a Creedmoor what platform would a brake that reduces muzzle flip make sense on that isn’t a super heavy rifle I.E. < 9 pounds un-scoped?
@@rpk5250 with a 10 lb rifle and the creedmoor round, muzzle jump is minimal
Brakes are more for recoil, comps are more for muzzle flip, and of course you have hybrids also. At least that's my understanding.
It certainly can affect accuracy. In fact it is a well known problem when they are not perfectly machined or clocked on the barrel
when you hunt do you shoot your braked rifles without ear protection?
Yes but I should not
Savage Arms 110 VSX Hunter XP Bolt-Action Rifle i bought what one do i get or what is the size
1/2 x 24 I think
You forgot to mention that they look awesome as a legit selling point.
Always use hearing protection, Muzzle brake or not.
I put one on because I thought it protected the crown.
Also with muzzle brake you are loosing velocity about 100fps , that's why I don't use it
Interesting. I have had some that reduced velocity a lot and others almost none.
I'm going to check that fact, I've always found a moderator or a muzzle brake increased my velocity, but next time I'm at the range with my chronograph I will check.
Maybe you could Bullets4Bucks ?
@@terrystill30 maybe i will do a video on it this summer
@@Bullets4Bucks right, it depends on factors such as caliber, barrel length , load, muzzle brake construction
@@Bullets4Bucks you now what? I might be wrong about that, or maybe it depends on muzzle brake construction, would be great if you make a video about this topic 👍👍👍
Is that wall paper
Yes
There’s no amount of comfort in shooting that is worth not being able to hear when I’m older. Your hearing is damaged way below the physical pain threshold and muzzle brakes take an already damaging event and make it far worse. You need to double up plugs and muffs if you’re going to put a lot of rounds through a gun with a brake. It also makes you the least favorite person at any gun range you step on. If you can’t take the recoil, you can’t shoot the caliber. If you’re a serious shooter, run a suppressor. You’ll save more on hearing aids than you’ll spend on a can.
I use ear plug, my hearing is far to precious then the kill, been working pretty good so far for me
Damn auto correct
What was that?
@@Bullets4Bucks stupid auto correct
What you stated is not exactly true. If you have a muzzle brake on the barrel can be cut back so that the barrel with the brake on is no longer than the original barrel and not weigh any more than it did before the brake was installed. Also, you can have a brake put on that is contoured the same as the barrel which does not make it look unpleasing to the eye. It blends in and is hardly noticed at all. Other than that, you pretty much got it right. I do think it is important that people know that they can have it better with a brake with fewer negatives than you listed. Another plus is if you get a rifle with a little shorter barrel than the caliber is best suited for you can actually make a 22-inch barrel a 24-inch barrel after having a brake put on. Many rifles come with barrels that are too short for the cartridge the are chambered in. Fine holed brakes have little or no problem with debris as larger holed brakes do. You also did not mention that some people put brakes on low recoil rifles so they can see the bullet impact the target. I myself did that with my 220 Swift. Many people do that with .223's when they are into target shooting.
I would never have a brake on a hunting rifle. I don't want a loudener in the woods.
Its hard on the ears
Muzzle breaks dont amplify noise they just redirect it to a place you can hear it more.
As was already pointed out, gases are just redirected which means the shooter hears a higher volume and what is downrange hears lower volume. By your argument it is benificial to run a brake. Just should wear electric earpro which helps hearing by amplifying sound as well as cuts out the blast. A brake plus earpro is a win win win vs just dismissing what you don't understand.
Breaks are great for range shooting. I do not like them for hunting. Way too loud.
I hear ya
Muzzle brakes most definitely increase the sound to the shooter well beyond permanent damage levels.
F/:;k no get a suppressor muzzle brakes suck
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
