Thread: New dpt suppressor muzzle brake

I have bought one for a Tikka 7mm RM. Have videod the results in one take of me shooting it with no suppressor, just the suppressor and then lastly the suppressor with the brake fitted. It's been so long since I've posted a photo or video though that I can't remember how to post them. To be honest it's hard to see the difference on video. Anyway, as you'd expect the recoil was reduced with each change. Quite noticeably by the time I got the suppressor/brake combo on.

Importantly muzzle jump was really tamed. At 100 yards through a Leupold VX5 on 15 power I never lost sight of the target during the shot whereas with just the suppressor I'd lose sight of it with the muzzle jump. This would happen on deer in the field also so I'm looking forward to being able to watch the hit again on the next deer.

I ditched the earmuffs and fired one shot with just the suppressor and one with the suppressor/brake combo. Noise is definitely higher with the brake set up which was to be expected. It's hard to say just how loud it was. I was shooting from under a shelter at the range and so that makes things a bit louder. My gut says it was still quieter overall than an unsuppressed rifle.
