I should have also mentioned that I prefer a safety that pushes forward, like you find on the Remington 700. My muscle memory is used to that. I still fumble at times with my AR or a shotgun with a trigger housing safety, or one that pushes down as opposed to forward. (Make sense?)
However why would one need or even want a .308 with a muzzle break? They dont kick hardly at all?? Seems useless to me. Not to mention obnoxiously loud.
Yep.As to a brake making it too loud, my experience is that the fellow pulling the trigger doesn't notice it much.
To the guys bringing up the brake on a .308, look and see how light that rifle is. If I remember right, it's under 5lbs w/o optics. Say what you want, rifles that light are not fun to shoot with full power loads.
if you like the black and blue look,try a ruger #3 in 45-70 with top loads(2000fps+) with the 400gr jacketed bullet.
