I would like to have the barrel threaded and a muzzle break put on a bolt action .308

I know the recoil isn't that much, but, I would like to reduce it as much as possible for the woman. She refuses to shoot any .30 cal now... :rolleyes:

So if I could get some advice as to which break worked for you and what thread it is?? Where you got it?? :D

Don't just say for the woman.....mine would rip ya a new one if she heard that:p :D :D ;) A muzzle break is going to reduce felt recoil on any caliber, some more than others but what it will do is greatly reduce shooting fatigue and allow you to maintain your sight picture on say your .308 to see bullet impacts at extended ranges. My wife has a Mikulak on her AR-15 which is only a .223 and loves it she is having one done on her new custom .300 win mag, when its done im sure she will post pictures. I never thought it would make a difference on such a small caliber but was pleasantly supprised. If you do this for your wife and try her rifle I bet it wouldnot be long before you follow suite.

Try giving Rick Timmons a call at Alberta Tactical in Calgary if you want it profesionaly done. He's on this site.

I just took delivery of a BSA Majestic featherweight sporter in 308. Older rifle in near new condition with excellent factory brake. Look around, I paid right around $600 for this rifle from Gobles London, but there still are a few of them around.

I put a Sightron 3-9X on mine and expect to be able to see silhouettes fall because the minimal recoil will allow a very small, fast recovery. This is the third of this BSA line to be "adopted" by me, and, no, none are for sale!.
 
oldbadger - do you happen to have any pictures of the BSA with Brake? Haven't seen one yet.

Holland makes a nice brake.

I think you'll find you want to select a reasonably priced brake. Most CNC produced bakes are very reasonably priced while the custom ones can get very expensive. The law of diminishing returns applies to brakes as well and the gains on money spent for some of them really makes the extra expenditure questionable....
