Remington 700 LTR 308 , Muzzle Break?

[LLDJR]

Acquired a Remington 700 LTR .308 , has anyone put a muzzle break on a Rem-700? Did you experience an appreciable difference in recoil ? And is the louder sound substantial?

Threading is a non issue, I can chuck the barrel in the lathe and put any thread I need one it, so zero cost for barrel threading,

Also, considering a Digi camo paint job since during winter break I'll have some downtime

My brother had a break on one of his 700's. Yes there was a noticeable difference in felt recoil, but the sound is much louder. Its a trade off I guess.

i put a vias on a mod 70, it made a world of diffrence it was on a 358 bfg, but that gun is extreamly loud now

I have a brake on my 700, less kick as for noise I have earmuff, so I don't know how much louder it is

 

[LLDJR]

Thanks guys, I would imagine the ear muffs cancel the sound DB issue, its reversible i.e. I can use it or not

You should be more worried about the muzzle-brake kicking up sand, dirt, & leaves more than the noise, don't forget to wear glasses when shooting with a rifle with a muzzle-brake

i HIGHLY reccomend the VIAS muzzlebreaks. I have reccomended them to many people and have not had one person that was upset by listening to my advise. minus the extra noise, it makes a .308 feel like a hot 5.56.

Very good advice!

Thanks I like the looks of the VIAS m-brake!

Is the Rem-700 LTR ammo sensitive?

Any ammo, that I should not buy?

if your looking for the most accuracy without reloading id look at federal gold metal match

 

[Yeah]

If you want the most accuracy without reloading, skip the brake and shoot during the downtime, instead of paint.

If you wilt under 308 Win recoil weight beats a brake.

 

[LLDJR]

I will forgo the muzzle break, the thought came and went

Honestly, most of the time will be spent plinking, I'm not too concerned about shooting dimes at 300 yards

 

[LLDJR]

Newb ammo question, I want to pick up some budget ammo for plinking, is the Sellier and Bellot .308 Win. 147 - gr. FMJ Ammo OK for shooting paper at 100 yards or so?

I found some at a pretty go price, this is why I ask, and I don't want to do anything that might be detrimental to the new rifle as well

 

[shadow6492]

I bought some 147 gr from Cwood at the last gun show I went to. Not bad for plinking at 100 yards out of my rem 700 AAC sd.

I never could see putting a brake on a 308 or non magnum rifle......... they don't kick that bad do they????

Hey, if you had it threaded for a brake, you'd be ready for a can...

Gonna skip step #1 (muzzle brake) and go to #2

gonna go to BGF this week and buy the can...

My only critera is that it has to cost less than $1000 out the door for the can, not inlcuding the stamp.

I know nothing about supressors but I trust BGF!

 

[Takashi]

nice! I rock a flash supressor for crown protection, so maybe its something to consider > like an aac blackout with the 51t for qd on a suppressor...

I would've never thought about it kicking sand or dirt up until it blew up in my face.
