Vais Brakes and long range

[old fart]

Gents , after reading here and other sites , I 've heard mention that these brakes are modified for bench rest and long range shooting , can anybody tell me how and why this is done , I have a couple of these on rifles and really like them , thanks - a curious mind

I have Vais brakes on my long range benchrest rifles and i bought them direct from Ron Bartlett. As far as I know they are standard in every way. Since NBRSA rules do not permit brakes that discharge gasses to the rear maybe that is what you had heard about??
