Brakes and accuracy

[Altaboy]

I was bored yesterday so I made a brake for my Tikka Sporter. The caliber is a 6.5x55 so recoil was never a issue but I wanted to be able to see my hits or misses at long range, and I figured less recoil might help stay on target. My question is, are the brake users out there seeing any accuracy difference with or without the brake attached to your rifle?

I definatly notice a huge difference in accuracy with my xcr-m. With the brake under 1 moa without 3-4 moa. Totally different rifle than a bolt action, but that has been my experience.

There is a different poi. But once you dial it in, there's no accuracy drop off. And it is cool to watch the bullet into the impact.

i have not noticed a diff with or with out the break,might have to try them again and pay closer attention. Imo with the break less recoil no flinch would prob be tighter groups for most shooters,I guess Im lucky i have no issue with recoil with out breaks.

I have never shot my long range rigs without brakes but it sure is nice to be able to spot your own shots.

I noticed a diff to the good no flinch and seamed better groups

I've installed Grizzly brakes. No change in grouping consistency, although the POI may change a little, it's a simple matter of turret adjustments.

The brake can change the harmonics of a barrel enough ,to change the point of impact be it with, or without a brake

Especially when hanging at the end of the barrel, thus the change in POI.
