Strut_Buster Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Re: new rifle .243 or .270?? A muzzle break is an object put on to the end of your gun with holes in the side of it. It alows the gasses from the fireing of the gun to disperse in a larger area thus reduceing recoil, compared to just one hole at the end of the gun. The muzzle break has many holes and exit points for the gas to escape. One downside to this is that it makes the gun extremley loud. If you get it.. your gonna wanna pay Extra Extra attention to your ear muffs. I would even plug your ears in the field before a shot. If your still wanna buy a new gun Look at A Browning A-Bolt with the Boss. Their muzzle breaks come standard and I've heard they work really well.
