Answer system brake

[ms]

Hello,
Does anyone here have this brake on there rifle? The brake is called the (Answer system trim line brake). I Really don't like brakes on rifles but this looks different. What is your opinion about this brake?

I have two of them.  One is on my Remington Sendero SF in .300Win Mag.  The other is on a Winchester Classic Stainless in .338 Win Mag.

The "system" incorporates a special spring recoil pad - that really works!  The MBs are essentially a series of numerous smaller holes.  The company says that numerous smaller holes are more effecient than fewer larger ones.  

All I can say is that recoil is GREATLY reduced - even more than my Vais Muzzle Brakes.  HOWEVER, the answer brakes, at least in my opinon, are MUCH LOUDER than the Vais.

Another thing I should mention is that they do SUPER HIGH QUALITY WORK!  They bead blast the MB and the barrel.  Even up close, it looks like they just drilled holes in the existing barrel.  However, when you twist the brake, you start to to see that it really is a different piece.

My conclusion?  It works VERY well, but it is VERY loud.  Personally, I won't put it on any more rifles because of the noise.

I have two of the muzzle brakes only.  They are high quality and look really nice.  They do force you to wear hearing protection that maybe would not be worn otherwise.  I recently had another brake installed from Vias.  I have not shot that rifle yet to compare with the Answer brakes.

I put brakes on my 7 Mag, 300 WM, and 338 WM, mainly because when I go to the range I like to sight everything in at once.  Without the brakes, that's a painful afternoon.

I have noticed in hunting conditions the explosion confuses the other animals and they are not sure exactly where the shot came from.  Several times animals have ran toward me or close by because they were not sure which direction the shot originated from.

They are tough on bystanders but make shooting larger rifles much more enjoyable and reduces the flinching bracing for the recoil.
