Their handmade muzzle brakes are not only a thing of beauty and precision, they freak'in work! My Tikka T3 Sporter went from a fairly sharp recoil (as far as 308 goes anyway) to recoil in the same ballpark as my .22 Hornet hunting rifle. Well done guys!

I noticed the poor bugger beside me at the range slipped on some foam ear plugs when I wasn't looking. :redface:

nice looking rig is that muzzel break only on with screws and not threaded

Its threaded... made for the TRG22/42 and T3 Tactical/Sporter threaded muzzle. The top screw is simply for a mirage band. I will likely remove it until needed.

If its stamped: "CTS SK 308" or similar, then no. Coretac Solutions (CTS) has done a lot of testing with their brakes, especially the TRG22/42 and T3-Tactical/Sporter lines. These are much improved over the factory versions.

I've never heard of a 10lb gun chambered in .308 as having "sharp" recoil before!? Good thing it's not a .338 Lapua.

Some of my handloads are fairly hot, and yes, .308 can give a sharp recoil. I am fairly certain that if you met me you wouldn't consider me "fine statured" and I can certainly handle far more powerful chamberings. The point of the muzzle brake was more for controlled muzzle rise than recoil anyway -- and it works well.

While a .308 might not recoil much relatively speaking in a 10lb gun it's enough to start wearing you down after a while and that can affect your performance, so why not try mitigate that a much as possible. The point of precision shooting is precision, not recoil absorption
 
My Eberlestock Phantom sniper pack arrived today in the mail, less than 24 hours after ordering... that is a record in my books! :D I suppose it doesn't hurt that I only live 1 hour from Coretac Solutions! Time to start assembling the gear, and see what I can carry.

I agree. I have shot 5 different .308's, and while I am a little smaller, they still just beat the crap out of me. Custom gun, stock gun, break or no break, I don't like .308 Apparently I'm not alone in that, I have heard it from many people. Now having said that, at some point I will probably end up with a.308 stock rifle as a SHTF precision gun, since .308 is SO PLENTIFUL.

If you want low recoil, try my .260 in my 16.2 lb gun. Sweeeeet..... :rockOn:

It is a good thing to be able to see your own bullet splash. There is no reason not to have a brake on a rifle, if the competition rules allow it.
