Savage muzzle brake

[Corey]

I was wondering if anyone knew how effective the Savage adjustable muzzle brake is. I am looking for a rifle, in 7MM R.M., to hunting deer and moose with but still be able to take to the range without beating myself to death. I have heard that the Savage rifle is much better than it used to be for quality and accuracy, and I am just wondering how accurate the Savage weather warrior is with the brake on it. I am also wondering if turning it on and off affects the point of impact much. I am also wondering how effective the brake is compared to the Browning BOSS brake. I have shot the Browning with the brake and I found it quite enjoyable to shoot.

The brake.. leave it On or off all the time... I haven't noticed my impact point change at all at 100 yards.. i imagine it would change at longer range.. all the brake does it make it noisier for your shooting buddies.. and shooting over the hood of your brother's truck with it open isn't a good idea either. (you'll burn the paint off). There is a slight difference in recoil with the brake in use but the noise is impressive.

There is NO comparison with the boss system.. but your savage will shoot just as well as any other high quality rifle (remington, colt, browning, winchester etc).

I've owned savage rifles for many years and when it was time to buy a new one I bought a 116 fcsak in 30-06 its my "everything" rifle.
