Pretty sure they are only class 2. Should be mandatory class 5 for ROs. And minimum Class 4 for all shooters. Very hard to police though.

And starting to shoot without warning would be slightly annoying so if the brakers can't get a system that respects non brakers space
then they might be on the right track by removing them all together after all why were brakes allowed in the first place if they're so loud?
Wouldn't it be more of a competition if the rifle was built or bought stock standard ? It would test the ability of the trigger man more so
After hearing all this I have no intention of joining a club or the SSAA just yet too many loose ends need tidying up

1) the people who complain about the way ranger are run are the ones who use them the least.
2) most of the loudest anti SSAA voices come from people who do the least to help run, organise and staff these ranges
And 3) if you don't like the way things are run and the rules put in place do something about it. Sitting back whinging because when you take your rifle to a range 2-4 times a year to get your minimum attendances (usually in the month before reports are done) dont complain about the way rules that are put in place after the guys that are there week in and week out mentoring people and training kids get together and decide that guys with more money than shooting ability turn up with FFP 32 power scopes and chassis rifles with brakes on them but can't shoot to save themselves so want to shoot at 50-100m with all the rimfire guys can go jump in the creek

And, i believe rightfully so, people get upset when someone rocks up with no 'respectful' notice to fellow shooters or RO's that he's about to unleash bedlam on others nervous systems by shooting a breaked 300wm or the likes.
One day a non club member (but ssaa member) stopped to shoot some rounds, plonked himself next to me--i never took any notice of what he was about to shoot....& didnt get any warning from this bloke which i think is just plain piggery...!
I sat down to shoot my .222, took up tension on the trigger...and...F**KN WALLOP...!!!
It blew the lid of my ammo box shut & my heart left my mouth at about 3000fps--left me flinchy for the next hour...
i tried to put up with it but 3 shots was all i could manage...so i had to move as naturally it was inconvenient for him to move to the empty end of the range...
I finally caught up with my skeletal system down the freeway half way home...
I have nothing againt brakes, but i have no respect for inconsiderate's with an over-inflated sense of self righteousnes who shoot them with no regard for other shooters.
I certainly wouldnt plonk myself in between a bunch of .22lr's shooting subs with my hot loaded 7-08 without first asking...
Sorry bout that rant ...its off my chest now...
Nothing against you respectful shooters with brakes...!

andreweden wrote:My experience with my M98B in 308 with its muzzle brake is that I go to the far end of the range well away from people, after an hour someone comes along and plonks themselves next to me when there are plenty of other spare bays. After a few shots they make a face like someone has shat in their mouth and makes toddler like flouncy moves as they give up on shooting until the cease fire. They then announce that I should move because it is knocking them about too much.
I'm new at the range and move, but really!?!?!?? I was there down the end the RO asked me to go with my rifle and was there first. Today in the same situation I wouldn't move, I'd tell him to take a long walk off a short pier.

Could not agree more. Love the analogies and have had the same experiences. Thankfully I rarely need to hit the range these days and I’m glad the rest of my time is spent in the field.
Each to to their, but glad I don’t have to sit next MB’s any more.
