Considering putting a muzzle brake on my 700 sps tactical.308. 1 in 10 twist with a 20" heavy barrel. It is already threaded for brake or suppressor. Gun is very accurate already. I have heard the brake will help with fine tuning,but I am skeptical. What are yall's opinions/ and or recommendations on type etc.? And possibly best place to find.
Thanks guys.

From what I've read it can help but, there's also a chance for less accuracy. The 2 reasons I wouldn't on that gun for me would be the noise and the recoils not bad on that gun in my opinion. That brake will blast some ears if someone's with you not wearing hearing protection. My buddy shot a mt goat in Kodiak and i forgot to put my plugs in, my ears rang forever once I could gear again lol

Hate the damn noisy things, especially when someone is pounding through a full magazine with his AR next to me at the range. 😈

Here is my logic: If it shoots don't mess with it.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

The only reason I would put a brake on that would be if I was having trouble staying on target to see hits.
Keep your booger hooker off the bang switch.

No problems with staying on target or with recoil at all, was just wanting yall's opinion on it and if you thought it may be of any benefit. I guess I should keep the theory of "If it is not broken, dont fix it!" or "If it shoots don't mess with it" as Goatkiller said.
Thanks all.

First time I’ve ever heard someone trying to tighten groups by adding a brake. Some people like them. I DESPISE them

No way in Hell I'd add a muzzle brake to any weapon that I own and I have the same rifle that's being discussed, threaded and all that.

I had a brake put on my Ruger American 7.62 when I bought it, the barrel was threaded & it looks cool enough but man it's loud. No way I would shoot it without hearing protection.

i had a Troy muzzle brake put on that exact gun when i had mine - as .308 says above, it looks cool on the gun; i didn't have any issues with accuracy ... ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/ZVBgCzF.jpg)

If recoil is not an issue, why consider a muzzle brake? Just asking because I am not aware of any other function of a muzzle brake except reducing recoil.

Maybe 300mag up other wise it's just something else to clean on the gun.its Worth the trade off on a semi auto but don't find it useful in a bolt gun

Sat beside a guy at the range with a 300 win mag (with MB) and it was horribly loud. Almost shook your insides when he shot it.

The thing about having a threaded barrel; for a hundred bucks or so the op can install a self timing brake like a little bastard, or hellfire, and if he doesn’t like it he can unscrew it and be done with it.
They definitely make the gun seem louder to the shooter, and bystanders, but like anything else they have their place. Personally I find great enjoyment in tinkering with a gun and don’t blame the guy for wanting to try something different.
