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.


Some pics:

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.

Kicking myself i didnt get one. Mines a dirt, dust, grass and shit in the eyes brake

Cheers. Without a doubt all reviews ive ever heard about the T1/2/3 breaks etc are they awesome and prob the best out there.

Had a T2 on 7mm mag which turned in to a 7 RUM. Very impressive.

Ignore the green on the brass, its my green "RL" ammo cases reflecting.

Has to be one of the best reasons to buy almost anything!

There is only one negative (and the main reason I don't leave my T2 fitted permanently).

Dog does not like it (and neither do I if I don't get my muffs on in time) but other than that totally and utterly bloody fantastic piece of kit

@Timmay I'm with you on this. I had a brake that sounds similar to the one @Gibo has on my previous rifle. When I had my 7-375 built I bought a T2 brake off @Kiwi Greg and couldn't believe the difference between the 2 brakes it was like day and night. Can't recommend them highly enough. @Gibo you need one.....that's my 2 cents worth.

Yip radial sucks.

Dont you bloody like that mr it'l be sweet :D

Put it on TM and buy one that works properly then.

@Kiwi Greg, thanks again, I can't get over how much of a pussy cat this thing is to shoot now.

After sighting in at the range with the new Zeiss I headed to the inlaws - they have a pest problem I was happy to help with - First 2 shots fired in anger = 2 kills.

A few lessons learned, I guessed the wind first time round, then under adjusted it because I thought I overestimated = go with your gut - The first shot was through the neck, second shot was tail end of the lungs but blew a fair size out the other lung so still went down well.

I have lots to learn about LR shooting.

Nice! :thumbsup:

I like those hunter stainless fluted tikkas alot (for a tikka). Bought one in 308 last year but it was too nice to scratch up and take hunting, so I sold it.
