I have never owned a rifle with a muzzle brake. I currently have a Rem 700 .308 build at the gunsmith and one of the things he is doing is threading the muzzle 5/8x24 so I can attach a muzzle brake.
Even though I've never owned one, I have shot beside them at the range and I realize they are LOUD. This rifle will be hunted with mostly and I'll consider investing in one of those hearing enhancement/protection devices to use while I'm hunting.
I of course want the muzzle brake to reduce recoil. The purpose of this thread is to see if anybody knows of any muzzle brakes out there that aren't quite AS loud, and are still effective at reducing recoil.
And before some one else says it, I know a "quiet muzzle brake" is an oxymoron unless you're talking about a suppressor (which I would have to get a class 3 weapons permit to use here in NC). I'm okay with the fact that it's gonna be louder, but I'd like to find a brake that isn't quite as loud as the others.
Anybody have any suggestions?
