My local range is ramping up for more and more scoped rifle matches. I'm in the process of putting together a Savage in .308 for that very purpose. Maximum distance will be 600 yards.
I foresee several shooters at a time proned out on the line for most of the matches. What I don't want to have is something obnoxious to the point that I'm asked to not compete in future matches. I heard the match directors bitching about a guy that showed up with a M1A Scout or Soccom rifle once and how they hoped he never shot again with it. I don't want to be that guy.
The Savage has a 24" factory barrel that's been threaded 5/8 X 24. Are there any brakes out there that might fit my needs. I was also cosidering just adding a flash suppressor (like the looks of the Vortex) instead. Gotta have something other than a boring thread protector out on the business end of the gun ya know.
Tell me what 'cha think.
