I am considering putting a brake on my Savage 12 in .22-250 and am looking for suggestions on types, makes, or just other general information. I have never used or seen with my own eyes a rifle with a brake on it so i have no experience with brakes what so ever. From searching online it looks like i would prefer a brake with side openings to keep from kicking up dirt. I want to install a brake on my .22-250 becuase while using 60gr v-max bullets infront of varget it kicks considerably harder then the 40gr bullets and makes the bipod jump about 1/2" off the ground (might be an exaggeration but it does jump alot). i want to be able to spot targets after a shot as well. I primarally hunt ground hogs laying in the prone postion with this rifle but do some target shooting/load devolopment with this rifle as well. I have also heard that it increases the noise of the rifle when shooting but does it make it louder from a distance? This rifle is allready incredibly loud and i want to try to minimize the report when heard from a distance. when i shoot at a ground hog i've seen people come out on thier yards and look to see what that loud sound was lol. thats why i was wondering if it makes it louder from a distance or will actually make it quieter at a distance.
Thanks.
Thanks.
