It’s here!!
After a couple years of wanting it I finally bought a .300 win mag barrel for my blaser a couple of weeks ago. After anxiously waiting for what seems like forever, I got the first of the two packages. 😀
Got my muzzle brake and mirage band today. I knew the muzzle brake would be big, but the thing is huge. 😯
I always knew how they worked to reduce recoil, but I always wondered how much they do to reduce muzzle climb/flip. I don’t know if they are all like this, but this one has been very well thought out and has a nice design to help that as well. You can see the way the bottom is much wider and has a slowly sloping v shape to keep the muzzle down. The top is much thinner with a sharp v.
I haven’t used many brakes before. While I was looking at them online I noticed there is a huge variety in price. This one was at the very top of the price list. This is the one that my blaser dealer sold and told me was the best for it, so I figured I was spending a lot anyway and I may as well get it. I’m curious how much better it will be than one of the cheaper ones though. It looks to be of extremely high quality, so I’m sure I won’t be disappointed. 🙂
More pictures to come tomorrow(hopefully) when I get the barrel and other parts. 😀 😀 😀
I’m like a kid before christmas. 😯

Next time I’m bringing muffs to wear on top of the earplugs to try to cut down on the concussion on my ears a bit.
I was half tempted to try it with the muzzle brake off, but it may hurt my shoulder. 🙂
The concussion is a bitch. I shot a 50 cal pistol a few times….never again
You are going to put your eye out with that thing.
Does your mother know about this!
Hoot 😯

Yay!!!
Got it in a few days ago. I haven’t been able to put it down. 😀
I shot it, but nothing much to report there. Most of the groups weren’t very good, but most of that was my fault, this thing is much more powerful than I expected it to be. 😳 However, I did manage a few groups that were about .3″. I’m sure with good ammo and some more practice it would easily be under .25″.
This is my first rifle with a muzzle brake, and it definitely works. I have shot a few before, but this one is much more effective, and MUCH MUCH louder than the ones I have shot. (mostly the boss and similar looking brakes) After the first couple of shots I actually thought the scope had hit me in the head, but it was just the concussion hitting me. I ended up with a headache at the end of the day. The recoil is minimal though, I’d say less than a .308. I would never shoot with without plugs in, I can imagine that would immediately kill my hearing.
I’m a happy boy. 😀
Very True, it’s a muzzle brake 😆

Your shooting 4x the powder and three times the ball than the 223. 😉
She’s gonna kick a bit. 😆
