300 Weatherby ?????

"when at the bench, after I light off the first round, the folks around me usually move."  And people wonder why muzzle brakes are being banned at rifle ranges. 

Would you take a crying child into a threatre and expect the folks around you to move?  In most cases, the manager would come and ask you to leave --if you didn't have the courtesy to do it on your own-- and that's what's happening at the various ranges.

Hey Guys,

Those are some really helpful responses.  Thanks.

Now How about the question regarding the "recoil reducer" in the stock.  Does the Weatherby Deluxe wood stock have a hole in the end of it?  Or would you have to drill it out to put a recoil reducer in the stock?


Thanks for your time.

    Seeing as how krochus  is the only one right on this site (according to krochus that is) then the rest should just bow down and worship krochus beliving all that krochus says.

 Brithunter you're just mad cause you had to sit next to some inconciderate jerk at the range who ruined your shooting session and now you want to place the blame on all muzzle brakes instead of one jerk.


 My father is also half deaf, but his came from commanding a gun crew on an 8" howitzer for 30yrs and being too stubborn to wear hearing protection. The moral to the story, don't blame loud noises when you're too stubborn to take precautions. HEARING PROTECTION WORKS PERIOD!

Sorry dear fellow but I have worked in engineering a lot longer than you have and my father spent almost all his working life doing so. Yes his hearing is damaged as is his left hand due to an industrial accident back in 1953.

 DID HE WEAR HEARING PROTECTION??

   Hmmm I don't know if he did or didn't as we never worked together. However bearing in mind the industrial climate then I doubt it except when work the Richards Horizontal Borer which used to sing a bit when doing deep bores on large pump casing's. They made some special pumps for "The Atomic Energy Commission" but that was in the late 1970's early 80's. Before joining up in WW2 he worked at "the Monotype Corporation and his section heavy capstans made amongst other things breech blocks for Bren guns and Vickers machine guns. After coming home he went back to the Monotype for a while.

    Of course his hearing was already damaged by that point as he too was in Artillery during WW2. Driver gun crew on 25 Pounders and served in India, Burhma, Malaya and ending up in Java at the end of the war before shipping back to Burhma on anti communist action until 1947.

     I am not mad as such but I do think that it's going to take some "Education" of these folks to make them realise just how inconsiderate they are. Let's face it a tactical type rifle like the Sako TRG in .308 does not need a muzzle brake ............................ period! 

    It's a fashion statement pure and simple and my short barreled .270 will show them just how unpleasent and annoying to other shooters MB's are. Perhaps then arrangements will be made for sessions for the braked rifles and non braked rifles ahot seperately so those who with to test for accuracy or sight in can do so with the disturbance of the aim by the blast of the darned brakes.

 In your situation of practically having to make an appointment to go shooting I can understand limiting thier usage for the benefit of others. But you gotta understand that my situation is altogeather reversed. My range is a rural members only affair only a mile from my house. Nine times out of 10 I'm there alone and when there is another shooter I leave the big 300 on the rack. There is just simply nobody else around for my brake to annoy.

Well the range is a 40 mile drive for me and it's open every Sunday all year and during the warmed lighter summer months on a Wednesday evening as well. It's too dark this time of year as the light is gone by 16:00. A lot of folks don't realise just how far North the UK is. We are on about the 53 degrees lattitude mark so days are short.
