Thread: What to put on the end of the barrel?

@7mmTom you already have lots of good advice above. I would second it. I see you mention that 7mmRM is your first rifle. Have you fired one or even better try and shoot several different makes/models. The stock design and weight of rig can have a big influence on perceived recoil, especially in magnums. If anything I would recommend you err on the side of a slightly heavier rig than an ultra light for your first magnum. As others have stated a 7mmRM can be shot accurately without a brake or suppressor, especially with a good stock & recoil pad. If your primary use is hunting then I’d go for suppressor, but for off hand shots in bush and for bush hunting/stalking shoot without suppressor. Wear HEARING PROTECTION !
The other point to watch out for with suppressor and to some extent with brake is more rapid build up of carbon fouling. This will wreck your accuracy if you don’t keep on top of it. You need to up your cleaning technique.
