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

+1 way more with a brake than a can.

A question for you guys using both brakes and suppressors, depending on circumstance:

How do you quantify the change in POI when shooting with the different attachments?

When I put my suppressor on the POI drops a few inches. I've never used a Brake but I'd have to assume the weight, no mater how small, must also change the POI. Do you run 3 different dope cards. One for each configuration?

I am nervous i'll choose a suppressor and not enough recoil will be tamed and I'll flinch.......with the muzzle brake it may be too loud? What would you guys chuck on a 7mmRM? I am looking at DPT magnum baffle supressor or Hardy gen 5/stealth.......with a suppressor I am mostly looking for recoil reduction...... What would you guys pick and why?

simple put a suppressor with a muzzle break in it on then you don,t have to stress out trying to figure out witch one

Your zero changes, not your dope. You can get a small velocity bump from a can but this would only show up over pretty long distances.

I havnt seen an appreciable change of poi in a braked rifle vs having the brake screwed off. Certainly not to change within minute of deer to 200

I'm not saying they are the be all end all but they do have their place

sounds like a challenge..... might be a little mean on the animal though!

All my rifles are standard , no brakes or suppressors. One day I might get a 6.5 cal which I would suppress. I find my big magnums manageable to shoot without either. Beeman's Sako 260 is very nice to shoot with the suppressor on and he tried it a while back without it on at 400 yards and totally missed the gong, so you do get POI change in some rifles.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the oceania defence suppressor’s? Are they any good? Quiet?

Ive had both over the years
And I prefer suppressors

The way i see it
Muzzle break
Pro’s:
Light
Compact
Significant Recoil reduction

Cons:
Significant increase in noise
Terrible for anyone next to it my local ranges actually ask you to remove breaks on the range

Suppressor’s
Pros:
Significant reduction in recoil about the same as what you get from a break
Significant noise reduction

Cons:
Not as compact as a break
And way heavyer

Definitely not comparable recoil reduction when shooting the bigger magnums.

+1
The rem mag sits right where I reckon the line is of suppressor vs brake efficiency because of gas volume
Any bigger definitely brake, you also have to consider the rem mag needs a magnum suppresor so more weight than standard.

Yes they are, My brother makes them out of their workshop.
