I agree with a lot of what you're saying Kid, but probably differ on a couple of things: I cannot stand the looks of a SS rifle, but I build a ton of them for guys that like them, it their money and their rifle and I leave it at that.įriends don't let friends shoot wood stocked rifles in LeadSleds. But I choose not to put them on my rifles, and yet I don't harp on people who want one about getting a wood stock instead. I don't like synthetic stocks, I know they work and I install a ton of them. I just wish people would stop hacking on guys and gals who shoot braked rifles, it their gun and their ears. Some hunt with ear protection and some choose not to, if you choose not to it is your hearing, and you are going to lose some of it brake or no brake. If youre shooting without ear protection you are a dumbass. Rifles are loud, with or without a brake, I don't care what anyone says. If it is what you need to make you a better shooter it is your hearing and your choice. I would much rather a guy have a 338 with a brake that he can shoot then see him or her go hunt moose or bears with a 243. Some of us are either tough or too stupid to let it bother them while others don't take recoil well at all from even moderate recoiling rifles. Also recoil is perceived differently by different people. I would never put one of my heavy recoiling rifles in one of those stock breaking *******s. While I don't own a rifle with a brake I will disagree with you about the LeadSled. I'd really like to see how one of these works too. (He let me park one in the bullseye at 200 yards) Stunningly accurate, and a pleasure to shoot. ![]() He said "Oh, sorry" and went to his truck, pulled off the compensator, and put a silencer on the thing! Oh man, that was one sweeeeet machine after that. After several rounds, he looked around and noticed everyone standing back waiting. No one could concentrate on shooting with that nonsense going on. It was knocking papers off of my bench two benches away! Everyone just got up and watched him. He had the rear facing chevron muzzle brake. I saw a guy pull up at Birchwood and pull out this nice. I wish like heck that I had a silencer installed on every rifle I own. They'd be the guys standing around in the office yelling at each other. Perhaps there should be shooting times for all the guys who have compensators on their firearms to shoot together. This means that on a rifle with a muzzle brake, even if you are wearing hearing protection, you are suffering permanent damage." ![]() The sound and pressure levels exceed even what quality hearing protection can stop, even double protection of plugs and muffs! Anyone who uses these around kids is really doing harm.Īnd ear muffs available, you will find the total noise reduction only between 22 and 31 decibels. We've all seen the zillion posts on muzzle blasts effects on hearing. It's such a pain to hunt with hearing protection. ![]() I'm apt to not do anything to harm what little hearing I've got left. (thousands of times) When I shoot at an animal. (just hold your mouth shut so that you don't chip a tooth during recoil!) Most rifles that are large enough to need one don't get shot like a varmint rifle anyway due to cost and noise. There's not a rifle made that can't be fired without a compensator for hunting purposes. A rifle can be sighted in using a lead sled, and practiced with using a shoulder pad. I'm never going to get off my soap box about this. To re-direct muzzle blast at other shooters just such an inconsiderate thing to do at a firing line. I seriously wondered if it might bust windows on the trucks nearby. A guy had a big bore, I didn't get too close to check it out, down the line at Birchwood the other morning with big side vents on the brake.
