I have one of these. They are amazing to shoot. I shoot without the muzzle break and it is painful. Muzzle Breaks are between $250-300 US dollars if i remember correctly. I hear they work really well, but i don’t mind shooting without one. I shoot 250gr Matchking.

I have heard people say that the gun is less accurate with the break. Not sure though.

Great Gun. Spend some time with the gun first before you head to the range. Lay on the ground and adjust the stock, cheek piece, trigger and optics. If you are shooting in .338 you know you don’t want to waste to much ammo sighting in. At $6 a round unless reloading.

I have one of these and it is one hell of a gun, mine’s chambered in 308 and has a different muzzle brake, and i guess the recoil isnt so much to worry about….

The reason these men are using suppressors instead of muzzle brakes is of course to reduce both noise and flash. New suppressor technology can actually enhance accuracy when properly implemented.
I have this rifle with two barrels (338 Lapua Mag and .308) and a Horus Falcon Scope system. It is a great value for the money. It is an incredibly accurate weapon.
The Lapua Mag with suppressor is an amazing combination. Fifteen hundred yards is no longer an ear shattering experience.

I agree with matt, this is a very sturdy rifle and yes, the muzzle brake is a must!

i have one of these, the muzzle brake is a must i say, there is little or next to nothing in movement in 338, it has to be one of the sturdiest rifles i have fired and it makes one hell of bang

i have to get these guys credit for using it without a brake

JDUN is right about the muzzle brake. Hence why the Aussies are using the rifles in the photo above with suppressors instead of that muzzle brake…

That muzzle brake will light you up like a Christmas tree. Lucky for the Australians, the Taliban are not good shooters.

They got to be using 338 Lupa or 300 win mag with those long ass barrel and muzzle brake. If that is the case, they have the option to engage the enemies over 1000 yards for win mag and 1500+ for lupa. Painful shooting tho, even with the muzzle brake.
