Guys,
I've got a 300 win mag for the range which is fine for me, but too much recoil for the wife.
She's not huge on shooting... Probably not worth buying her a rifle of her own, but would still like for her to have a few shots when she feels like it.
Putting a muzzle brake on my rifle comes to mind... If it makes recoil manageable for her and I get less recoil as a bonus, then great.
I haven't shot one with a brake before though so don't know how much recoil reduction to expect.
Comparing to other calibres, 300 win mag muzzle brake recoils like.... what?
If I can get a good idea of a similar calibre I'm sure someone at the range would be kind enough to give her a shot and if the recoil's manageable I'll go ahead and get a brake fitted to mine.
Cheers.
