bushjt003@yahoo.com Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I need help choosing a muzzle device. Primary use for the .308AR will be pig hunting, secondary target practice. While hunting I will not be wearing hearing protection so saving my eardrums will be number one priority. Second priority is fast follow up shots to hit numerous wild hogs! I was looking at the VLTOR VC:301, Vortex, and maybe BattleComp BABC, although the latter is pretty pricey. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Working with MEGA MATEN billet combo & Rainier Arms UltraMatch 18” Barrel. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livnoutdoors6.8 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Take a look at some of AR Performance's offerings. They have a few to choose from with detailed descriptions of what to expect when using them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 not to harp, but, dude, wear hearing protection. electronic muffs amplify ambient sounds, and you can hear a mouse fart, and are incredibly efficient at noise reduction.you can't replace hearing loss. trust me.also check the fsc30 for a brake, very good in rapid fire.

bushjt003@yahoo.com Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I like the AR performance TAC Brake and NMR...Although I was trying to have everything purchased through Rainier Arms...they have the PWS brake...which has great review but is really loud.I've hunted all my life with a .270 with no ear protection in the field...how does a .308 compare to a .270?

jeffreyC Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 You might also try this:http://www.blackrivertactical.com/the BRT Covert Compensator Flash Hider, it is designed to reduce recoil, hide flash and direct the sound and blast forward, away from you and the people next to you. I have no connection to them but am really impressed with how they do business.I ordered one on Friday after lunch and it was in my mailbox on Monday, from Michigan to Colorado.The quality is good, and I am a machinist myself, not easy to impress.

bushjt003@yahoo.com Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Thanks for the heads up on the BRT; similar design to the Troy Claymore without the teeth on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Wish they would have had a video of 7.62 <dontknow> Like the price resonable for sure.For 5.56 really like the battle comp on my 14.7. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsun Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 It would seem that all brakes are going to be loud by nature. I understand not using ear protection while hunting, I do it quite a bit. That being said I went to a concert the other week and couldn't sleep afterwards bc my ears were ringing so loud. So it's definitely time to make some changes...
