    muzzle jump on 7mm rm

    a brake or maybe even a can is the best way i'v found taming muzzle jump. i use a vias type brake on my 8.2 pound rig in 7saum with a mcmillan edge sporter stock. as this is my every day hunting rifle i only fit the brake when preparing to take a long shot or setting up for a ambush

    mk4, with a tmr rectical if the price is right. the nxs is a more user frendly unit than the mk4's even when you have both it's a hard choice
