Thread: What to buy for long range

One of my Tresamax or Quatromax muzzle brakes fitted to 7mm Mag will reduce recoil levels to about the same as a .22-250 in a rifle of the same weight, and will provide excellent muzzle stability for follow-up shots if required. I fit a lot of my brakes to sakos and Tikkas. As long as you are open country hunting without a dog and have time to fit earplugs before shot, then a brake is the way to go. No need to prune the barrel. One of my brakes will provide approx. double the recoil reduction and muzzle control compared with a suppressor, confirmed in comparison tests with brakes and cans on the same rifle, on a proper testing machine. Once you have fitted a brake the LS recoil pad becomes optional - best only if you want to increase the stock length as well.

Email or PM me if you need more info.
Cheers,

Dean.
