Tuner brake for 7mag

[victor3ranger]

Anyone here is a tuner brake on their 7 Remington mag??

This would be a hunting rifle

I have ~a dozen EC tuner brakes. Very good and they do pull your groups in…and reduced recoil.There was one here for sale at a good price

 

[victor3ranger]

Did it also reduce the recoil?

 

[Brad Quarnberg]

I have 2 of them. 1 is going on my 7PRC build (on a Tikka T3X action) which I hope to finish in the next couple of weeks, and one I've had on a 6.5 PRC.
The brake has good open ports, and I feel it did reduce recoil on the 6.5, not since I'm not recoil sensitive and the 6.5 PRC didn't have much kick before the brake was installed, I have no Scientific proof, only my personal feeling. They will assist in tightening groups if use properly which I believe would be great for people who only shoot factory ammo.
My 2 cents

Yes!

FEENIX,do they come in one thread size only?Tuner/brake might be nice.
I have a barrel that's .701 and some brake companies say that's too small for their brake.

I have a EC Tuner brake I've shot on my 7mm. It did reduce recoil and did tighten my groups, even though most of my barrels were heavier style or CF bull barrels. I also hand load and it still improved my groups.
I happen to be selling it as I've switched to cans on all my rifles. PM me if you're interested. I'm in Boise area

Do you know what thread pitch is on your barrel?
I know that browning recoil hawg has a version for sporter sized barrels. I know that they aren't a tuner type but they sure do good at knocking down the recoil.

.701 before threaded? Yeah a good smith will not turn to 5/8x24. Maybe try 9/16 and buy an adapter.

Thanks Justice1327,that is what stopped me on another brake.
I was considering a can instead but not sure I can thread a can on this barrel.
Have other options as I have a 30-06 that shoots lights out!Could drop down to a 150 or165 gr bullet in it and still shoot my 600 yard targets with so little recoil a brake would not even be needed.

At present my barrel is not threaded.

This is what is advised for the recoil hawg

There is no issue turning a 5/8 thread on a .701 muzzle. The brake id chamfer can cause an issue but a smith can dust it off and you'll have plenty of shoulder to butt up against.
