Hey guys, here in Australia at the moment I’ve got a new rifle I’m getting setup for this years hunting season. It’s a New Zealand built Hardy Project x, amazing build rifle! They run a tuneable muzzle brake and I’m wondering if anyone runs one on hunting rifles?
I’m worried about point of Impact if it did work loose or get knocked out in the field. Half a tune can change the point of impact up to 1”, is like to see a lock screw or something on it but there isn’t one.
This is the only tuner brake that I know of that actually works. I hope the information you can get this site helps you.
Nice! I like that idea, the tuner is at the front. The Hardy one is just tuned via the lock nut on the back of the brake.
If the tuner is changing the group size by 1”, I guarantee something is causing vibrations in the tuner. It’s as if it’s loose. A tuner should not be able to adjust a group size by more than .1” if at all.
My very first ever deer rifle, purchased back in the 1990s, was a browning a bolt with a tunable brake, the Browning BOSS system.
Still have it in the safe. Don’t shoot it much because I’ve shot the barrel out. Never once has the brake come loose. Killed plenty of deer without rifle many trips into the woods.
It doesn’t have a lockable screw. Rather, the brake is torqued down and when you do that it compresses the tuner portion, and locks it so that it can’t move.
N of one and all.
