    Muzzle brake on a 300 Win Mag?

    My first rifle was a browning A-bolt in .300 win mag with a muzzle brake and I flinched more from the noise than any actual kick the rifle had. So I purchased a T/C encore .300 win mag with a 28'' bull barrel then put a millet rifle scope on it, and after only 10 rounds that P.O.S. millet...

    Muzzle brake affecting trajectory???

    How much will a muzzle brake affect a bullets velocity and Point of impact? The rifle has a huskemaw with drop compensating turrets, so I am wondering if the muzzle brake will require me to get new turrets.

    Which guns do you use for predator hunting?

    SOLD/EXPIRED FS: Leupold VX-3 6.5-20 LR Target *SPF*

    i actually just ordered one of these wish i would have came on here first, but have you had any issues or problems with it being on such a large caliber. I had a Bushnell tactical scope on my 300 and it basically fell apart and i know leupold scopes are well made.
