308 Encore barrel 15 inch

[mudman02]

I've got a 15 inch 308 barrel that has more recoil than I can handle, looking to trade for something with less recoil. Willing to add cash for right trade

Tame that recoil with either a Holland's Muzzle Brake or a NWP Muzzle Brake from Mac' Gunworks. Make sure you get the brake with the solid bottom.

Either one of these will tame it so you can shoot it very comfortably.

Thank you for the advice, I've thought about that but wondered if they really worked that good, it's a pretty good kick for this old man

Send Ernie a message. He can tell you the large calibers he shoots with muzzle brakes and rifle scopes.

It does, my 16" 7mm-08 AI barrel has a radial brake and it is very manageable.

I emailed Mac's, probably be Monday before I hear anything. Thank you

Also if your barrel isn't already threaded, you can send it to them and they'll install it for you. Not sure what the price is, but for me it was worth it.

 

[mudman02]

That is one of the questions I asked, I don't know anyone around here that can do the threading for me

Muzzle Brakes and More makes a really good brake that takes recoil quite nicely. His Beast is his beast brake. Plus he offers an older style as well that works quite good also.

That 308 with a good brake would be quite pleasant to shoot.

I thank everyone for your help, I will keep you up dated

Look to the right of your profile name and profile picture toward the top of the scree, and to its right, it looks like an envelope. That is where your private messages are.
