Maga-porting?

[T.R.]

I've had good luck with this older Savage in .308 but the muzzle lift seems excessive.  A local smith told me the stock design causes this more than actual recoil.

I loathe the appearance of muzzle breaks.  Magna-port advertizing appears to match my basic needs here.  But before spending any money, I thought it best to seek advise from this forum. 

I'm not concerned about ruining collector value.

Do you think Magna-porting will significantly reduce muzzle jump?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

It works very well on shotguns to minimize the muzzle jump.  Some of my rifles sport muzzle breaks but they add weight and length in addition to the ports.  There is a change in the sound of the gun, it becomes a sharper sound and more penetrating especially in an enclosed range.

Is it worth the ca$h?  Sure, if you shoot the rifle more than 10 rounds a year during hunting season.

Best regards,

YES...it will and it's worth the $$ IMHO.  I have it on several lite guns and hard kickers and it does reduce muzzle jump noticeably.
