Thread: T2 Terminator Muzzle Break mini review

Let me start off by saying I have never been a lover of medium to high recoiling rifles and much prefer softer shooters.

I decided to buy a 7mmRemMag for shooting past 300m as my 6.5x55 was such a sweet shooter for anything under that --- and who doesn't want more rifles.

The toss up between a DPT can and Muzzle Brake was done - I use a DPT can on my .223 and 6.5.

DPT Can:

+'s
Quieter, multiple shots at game possible
Slight recoil reduction

-'s
Heavier
More expensive

Muzzle brake
+'s
Lighter and much more compact.
Follow up shots possible with out wrecking it (compared to a Can)
Terminator sounds cool
Higher recoil reduction

-'s
Louder

The Muzzle brake won the duel in my mind, I spoke to @Kiwi Greg who sorted me out with the right advice, I dropped the rifle in at the smith on Wednesday and it was done the next day, off to the range after skiving off work early today.

First shot -- wow, What a difference this brake makes. Literately feels softer than my CZ 223 does to shoot.
Zero muzzle climb and very little ground disturbance. I use a pair of ear muffs which I shot the rifle with before the brake was fitted and I don't think its any louder. I fired 10 shots before calling it quits and it felt like I was yet to pick up a rifle and take a shot - it was that soft shooting.

If you are considering the two options I would say there is only one way to go for a magnum.

I haven't shown any groups as I'm still doing load dev for my Mag but suffice to say it will only improve any groups I would have normally shot otherwise due to the lack of recoil.

Compared to 7mmRemMag loaded to T3 mag length, what really surprised me is how light and small it is.











The usual, blah blah not paid or any affiliation with Kiwi Greg.
