Battle Comp on a bolt gun?

[ASH556]

I searched BABC, but could only find people putting them on semi's. Would there be any benefit to putting one on a bolt gun? If I could keep the rifle from jumping and having to re-set every shot that would be nice. If I could avoid the typical noise/dust/flash of a traditional brake/comp, that would be even better. Any thoughts? Anyone tried it? What (if any) effect on POI or accuracy due to harmonics/gas velocity?


Thanks!

I think it's a great idea. I see plenty of brakes at snipershide and longdistancehunting: just a few with FSC30s recently. Logically bolt guys trail semis in this regard, so I wouldn't doubt BABC will be seen within a few years, but in very low numbers. If I had $300 doing nothing for the thread and BABC, I would. But first I'd cut the barrel to 18 or 20...So please do it and let us know!

It would work. I've been looking at my Remington 40x wondering how it would work with a BABC

im sorry, i am not familure with this term.. could someone please further explain to me what this is? i am a fast learner, it doesnt need to be to in depth.

In my opinion it wouldn't make sense. The Battlecomp keeps the muzzle flat, but the recoil is a straight back push.

Thus it's good for faster follow up shots... you don't have rapid fire on a bolt gun.

BABC = Big Assed Battle Comp. It is the 7.62 version of the Batttle Comp. If you don't know what a Battle Comp is, click their link (BCE) in the banner as they are a site sponsor.

This is a very good point. Furthermore, to help talk myself out of this, you have to operate the action, which changes your shooting position anyway.

being a huge proponent of the battlecomp, i would not put one on a bolt gun. the battlecomp does not reduce recoil, it just reduces muzzle rise- great for rapid firing, as somebody else said, but doesn't help you on the bench. there are some great brakes designed specifically for what you're talking about.

[ASH556]

To clarify, I'm not trying to reduce recoil because the gun hurts or anything. It's purely an attempt to self-spot (ie, see my bullet's impact through my scope) Currently, my rifle is too light, and it jumps a bit. The SJC (Titan) guys are right upstairs, and I could probably get them to make me one for it. Would that be a good choice? I shy away from a silencer for this gun as I don't want to deal with the velocity (and corresponding POI) changes. From a "practical" standpoint, do you worry about muzzle flash/dust signature on a bolt gun?

Why shy away from a silencer? A can was the best thing that ever happened to my Rem 700 LTR in .223. Took it from being an ammo picky, barely 1 MOA gun to a 1/3MOA or better gun. And it reduced muzzle rise and movement to nearly zero. Not to mention the obvious benefit of shooting it without ear pro.
