$9.95 p&h listed on eBay, I'm getting one if not two one for the .308 for starters see if it's as good as they're saying, hard to find anyone local with the skills for barrel threading so next best option I guess

Just bought one for my Savage 10FP 308. Will report back with results, once tested. Should be good...

EBay makes a profit on all sales, makes sense the eBay one is dearer.

A brakes recoil reduction really is great but a braked magnum does get the ears ringing :lol:

Use good hearing protection...simple. My braked .30-06 is loud at the best of times...with or without the brake on. With good hearing protection is just not an issue.

Brakes obviously do make a shot much louder but people carry on about it a bit too much IMO.

Hearing protection's a must.

If you're hunting what's two or 3 loud shots in a day? Nothing.

If you're on the bench with good hearing protection it's manageable. Or if you're already deaf :lol:

Depends on what you'll put up with and how well you pad the ears.

I have never liked clamp on muzzle brakes,they run at tight tolerances so always the threaded type for me.

Huh?

Tight tolerances is a good thing, why would you want sloppier machining?

Not sure what that has to do vs a thread on brake either?
