What's the best brake for a TRG-42 as far as recoil reduction? The factory brake or a Surefire? Does anyone else make a brake thats better then either of these? Thanks for the help!
 
Re: TRG-42 Brake

I have the factory break, shooting a 250 grn Scenars mine feel likes between a 243 and a 270 that fits real good. They are Great!
 
Re: TRG-42 Brake

The SureFire is nice by itself but I don't know if its better than the stock muzzle brake. If you are going to put a suppressor on in the future though different story.

Jered from American Precision rebarreled mine with a 1:9.3 Broughton and installed his larger brake. Shooting 300 grain Corbon loads was very mild. I never had any luck in accuracy with the factory 1:12 twist and anything larger than 250 grains, but for that you would not need anything more than the factory brake.
 
Re: TRG-42 Brake

Thanks for all the info! Sounds like the factory brake definetly works. I was hoping the surefire brake was at least as good as the factory brake, I can get a Surefire for less then the Sako. Sako acessories are nice but seem a little on the pricey side. Thanks again!
 
Re: TRG-42 Brake

I owned a TRG-22...I had the stock brake and then ordered a Near. Wow....the Near brake is much more effective. It angels the muzzle blast back...so it pulls the rifle away from the shooter. I would highly recommend the Near brake...I also used the Near 25 MOA scope base.

Take care,Stan
