Eagle Muzzle Brake for Remington 597

[Craftsman 441]

Last week, I received the Eagle slip-on muzzle brake and have taken it to the range a few times already. My buddy brought his 597 and we compared each rifle.

I must say, it really does reduce recoil and muzzle jump. I also found that my rapid fire groups decreased in size. My friend had the same results.

[picture here - later]

The only problem I have is that it looks funny without a front sight attached and the setscrew sticks out from the bottom by about 3/32". With that said, I would recommend one to anyone who wants to reduce the muzzle jump of their 597.

You know a lead sled, past recoil pad, decelerator butt pad and sandbags would reduce that massive recoil without the brake.

reduce the muzzle jump of their 597.

Is this really an issue??? I find my 597 in .22WM plenty stable for rapid fire...

I'm puzzled again(I get puzzled alot on this site), why would anyone want/need a muzzle break on a .22 rimfire, must be those 60gr. Aguilas or Stingers. If the recoil is bothering you try Subsonics or BB caps, after your shoulder heals.

Hey, if it works for you I say go for it.

Bahahaha!

What I'd be wondering about is what effect a muzzle brake would have on barrel harmonics.
