Muzzle brake

[twocan]

Picked up a Remington 700 7stw bdl dm-b with the muzzle brake. Anyone know what thread that is so I can order a better looking brake?

Most likely the same threads all .30 cal devices use. 5/8x24

Quick phone call to Rem Customer Service will answer the question. 800-243-9700

Unscrew that one and measure it. I would get a thread protector until I could suppress it. Muzzle brakes are noisy and ugly.

Hate em unless used in competition. The right brake will keep the muzzle on target for rapid fire. Most muzzle brakes require double hearing protection because they are so loud.

Majority of all bolt rifle precision shooters have went to suppressed now.

Different purposes. Competition shooters use brakes. Cans just get in the way.

Maybe some will chime in. We are talking precision rifles, not 3 gun using red dots where center mass on human size target as fast as possible is sufficient. We are talking rifle competition where groups are measured in decimals of an inch not time.

Handguns of course brakes will help, rifles in 3 guns and speed competitions will benefit from brakes. However, I wouldn't guess he bought a Magnum Bolt rifle for speed competition, would you?

Buddy at work told he and his family has these on all their 7 STWs. Not pretty but efficient
