[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 1933575, member: 11853"] I recently bought two rifles that already had brakes installed on them.The first one was also the first braked rifle I have ever own.After my first range session I noticed the brake had started backing off.The rifle had so so accuracy,but after seeing that it had began unscrewing with each shot,I thought that has to affect the accuracy since this brake has the big side vents with the small top vents.I would think that would make an affect on the harmonics as it began rotating in different positions.I did some video searching and found one that talked about locking the break down tight can also affect the accuracy because it can cause a stress point in the barrel.They recommended not to screw the brake down tight,but instead,use blue locktite on the threads and screw it down just shy of tight and let it set.I did that and both of those rifles are shooting really well.
