Finally got a chance to hit the range to test out the new Comp brake with the Scythe Ti and compare it to the Theorem-S with the brake.
The host for the Scythe weighs 11 lbs 4.96 oz and the host for the Theorem weighs 11 lbs 5.66 oz. Both weights are including the can with a 26” Proof barrel and without a bipod attached. Both were using the same ammo. 6.5CM with 147gr cruising at 2620 fps avg +/- 10.
I shot both rifles back to back a few times alternating between them. Recoil impulse on both cans were fast. Same as before, the recoil on the Theorem-S felt a little stiffer but the rifle also felt flatter. The Scythe + Comp brake was a little softer on the shoulder but didn’t feel as “flat” as compared to the Theorem. But yes, the Comp brake does a really awesome job. I don’t have a Scope cam to use but it looked like the Theorem brake had more of a downward push compared to the RX Comp. Both cans kept the target within the reticle and recovery was fast. Can’t go wrong with either setup.
Remember folks, this was my non scientific testing shooting off a barricade and bag. The rifles were relatively light. To me sub 12 lbs is light. I mean I could have used a 25 lb Dasher as a host but why? I want to see how the brakes work on NRL Hunter builds.
