    Basically why compromise any potential accuracy at the gain of a "softer" shooting rifle...that is unless your a chick
    Does a muzzle device really have that much of an effect on long range accuracy? I'd appreciate any experience you can share. Thanks.

    I would be suprised if anyone here can provide bullet proof data on that claim.

    If there is any affect, You would probably have be able to shoot under a half an MOA to begin with to notice any difference.

    Secondly, there are manufacturers making sniper rifles with muzzle brakes from the factory.http://accuracyinternational.com/


    Trident, it sounds like you may have just found yourself a homework assignment.

    Muzzle devices can have dramatic effects on accuracy at any range, not just long range when they are improperly installed or ill designed. A2 devices are notorious for throwing off accuracy on cheaply built outta spec ones, or when improperly installed. Any muzzle device regardless of design will change the POI by some degree when installed. It's whether or not that POI shift happens randomly or if it's repeatable/predicted. I'll stop there to not hijack this thread as that's a deep topic with a lot of different nuances and technical speak...much of which I'm prob. not qualified to even talk on

    eta...I have zero homework to do undocumented, read the above. It's all about whether or not POI shift occurs when expected or randomly when the device is installed and zero'd. POI shift and muzzle devices is elementary stuff gents.

    And a consistent POI shift does not necessarily denote a decrease in precision.

    Correct.

    Many competition/precision bolt guns are built from the ground up with a brake. The reason is to see the bullet strike on steel with something like a .260, as well as rearward recoil reduction. I can't speak to the BC, but my Noveske 18" SPR barrel has the same accuracy - at long range, with a Rainier brake as it did out of the box with a FH. POI did shift some between the two as would be expected.

    I'm not sure if the above comments are suggesting specifically that the BC will lead to decreased accuracy, or merely that any muzzle device will, but I would like to see something quantitative on this first, as my understanding is that many precision firearms have muzzle devices. Guess I was hoping for feedback from the manufacturer, or those with extensive firsthand experience. Thanks mistwolf for your input.

    We have done extenive testing to determine if our devices affect long range accuracy on a variety of platforms and calibers. We also have data provided by independent sources that verify our own testing results which indicate no loss of accuracy at ranges out to 900 yards.

    Thank you Marty!

    ANd your thoughts on combining the BC with a SPR setup and a VLTOR A5? I'm looking to put together a very soft shooting accurate rifle.

    It will work just fine on your rifle. I believe that we have a few on very similarly configured rifles and the owners tell us they are pleased with the performance.
    Almost forgot; we have a 30 day 100% money back return gaurantee. If you don't like the comp just send it back and we will refund the entire purchase price.

    Works good, built a rifle with a DD 18" chrome lined barrel, A5 and a Battle comp. It will shoot at under 1 MOA with 77grn and 69 grn ammo.
