....to have a muzzle brake installed. It's actually not expensive at all. About $120. Had two put on in the past on other rifles. Makes such a difference. A little more boom, but a bunch less smack....  Should have it back in a week or so. Jimmy |

What caliber? I guess it is the same thing I call Mag-na-porting. I have a couple of rifles Wby 270 and 300 mag, that have removable ported pieces that are replaced with a blank compensator of the same weight when hunting. At the range without the mag-na-porting I would have to stop after about 3 shots (ouch)  Also have an AK with a removable mag-na-port, I don't think it needs it and I leave the compensator on it. In came that way and I am sure it had something to do with a faster rate of fire, then with recoil. I have one .45 ported but it is not removable, very loud but keeps the bucking down a lot. Plus, IMHO, the extra noise gets a definite negative response from a live target. Oh wait, I forgot I no longer have any .45's as I got rid of them all a couple of Christmases ago. Some people claim accuracy differences when switching to the compensator but I don't find that to be the case. |

It is the new Savage Axis. It's 30.06. Weighs only 6 lb 2 oz. Which is great for carry, but has a tad more recoil than I like.
This is a pretty common brake. The smith will thread my barrel and then install the brake. Then he going to check to make sure it still shoots straight.
I never remove the brake for hunting. Only thing different is ear plugs and ear muffs when sighting and practicing. The brake does make a bit more "ear recoil"..lol
