[QUOTE="Sako7STW, post: 32141, member: 2112"] When I started to look into brakes I was retedly told the Vias brake is the quietest. It would have the reduction your looking for. I ended up going with the KDF brake as it is supposed to be one of the most effective and I can atest that it made a world of difference on my STW. Just curious why your worried about noise? Is it for the other shooters or for spooking game? There has been alot of talk on the various websites concerning this. IMHO when you add a brake the sound is directed out at a 90 deg or greater angle from the muzzle. This makes it seam louder to you and those to the sides of you. If your shooting under a canapy you will hear the report off of it as the sound has been directed that way as well. So what does that mean? Well I think that the sound is actually not as loud towards your game. Thats why I went with effectiveness over sound. I have experienced this with my brother shooting his gun with a brake and my dad shooting one without a brake during hunting. The 2 shot about five minutes apart and i was on the ridge over from them. There was a substanial difference between the braked gun VS the non-braked gun. Dad had shot once and my bro had shot twice. I used to desighn professional car audio systems and got very good at the science of directing sound. I have considerd doing some tests on this and stuff but have no idea what good it would do me LOL. just a few thoughts [/QUOTE]
