Remington 700 SPS 300 Remington Ultra Magnum 26"bbl

[trapper300RUM]

I am thinking of having a muzzle brake put on my 300RUM when i lay flat to shoot it is bad & i am going to put a Boyd's Thumbhole Lam Forest camo stock on ut as well this gun will never be sold just pass on when i am gone to my grandson i am gonna make it a nice rig . I have heard that a muzzlw brake makes the rifle much louder & if this is true i wear hearing protection while praticing anyway what do any of you fellas think about a muzzle brake

All of my magnums now have muzzle brakes on them. It prevents bad habits from developing and watching the bullets impact on game is a joy. There are many great brakes out there, I have the Vias on a few. Lately, I put Jim See's Centershot brake on a .338 RUM and have a couple of Nathan Bagley's Straight Shot Gunsmithing brakes for the next couple builds.

I did a little research a few weeks ago when I was thinking of putting one on my current build (.308win), but decided not to because a .308win doesnt kick much in the first place. With a big magnum like what you have it would be a must! While doing research on this forum I received a message from gunsmith/forum member Ryan Pierce. His forum name is "rpierce". He suggested a muscle brake because they are more effective than a muzzle brake. He will explain the details. Good luck! Here is a link to his website http://www.piercisionrifles.com/

IMO side port brakes work the best for prone shooting. Less debre flying up. There are a lot of version of side exit brakes available, so it your preferance on what to get. Here is a youtube vid of my micro three port design side exit brake on a 300 ultra http://youtu.be/oyrk8OpwXK4. Here is another vid of a bigger brake design of my eight yr old shooting. http://youtu.be/wVKR308JgeU. Hope this helps
