375 H&H Muzzle Brake?

[Andrew62]

I have a HyperTac muzzle brake from Precision Armament for my 375H&H. It is SKU #AO4. Currently, it is 179.99.

When I want to go fire off some rounds, I screw on the muzzle brake and enjoy shooting my gun, when I go to hunt, I take off the muzzle brake and put on the threaded cap.

If you physically need to use a muzzle brake, then use a muzzle brake. I have to imagine as badly as PH's hate the things, they would rather have your hunting dollars than not.

no brake. practice with the rifle to get comfortable. when u are “in battle” u dont feel any recoil anyway. everyone in your hunting party wil appreciate it.

my humble 2 cents.

I will admit that 5 of my rifles have threaded barrels. My custom 300 Rum was built with a muzzle brake, it stays on. I hunt it and shoot it that way. My custom LH .22-250 has a cute little radial brake and it was built that way. Both those rifles have match ammo loaded for them and they both shoot longer distances accurately, so I don’t screw with them.

I had my .243 and 7MM REM MAG threaded for suppressors. No muzzle brake on either of those.

Now the best part is, my 450 Dakota has a factory brake! I’ve shot it twice without it. Pretty good push…

450 Dakota:

I don’t have a brake on my .375 H&H. I don’t find the recoil to be significant even though the rifle is relatively light…

I’m certain I would not have a muzzle brake put on my 450 Dakota had I spec’d it.

You do what's best for you. I'm in my mid 70s and 100% military disabled. I have my rifles modified in ways I can continue to hunt. You set your rifle up so you can shoot safely and screw what it looks like to others. a muzzle brake really reduces recoil but really makes the report a lot louder.....but that's why you wear ear protection. Hunt and shoot smart, not hard at your age and you can hunt and hunt and hunt

The OP asked about sources for muzzle brakes not commentary on whether or not he should get one. That decision has been made. Anecdotal tales of children and old timers successfully shooting 375 aren’t relevant. The OP knows his limits and wants a muzzle brake. Why are some of you giving him crap about it? He’s not going hunting/shooting with you. Why do you care what someone else chooses for their hunt?

I do not understand the antagonism some folks have towards muzzle brakes. Don’t like them? Don’t use them but let others make their own choices. FTR, the only rifle I own that has a brake is a Ruger Guide Gun and I don’t use the brake. I use the thread protector instead. I’m not pro muzzle brake. I’m anti berating others for equipment choices they make.

I agree with you 100%.
