Tikka T3X Tac Muzzle Break

[Tomtommad]

I am the proud owner of a brand new Tikka T3x Tac. It comes with a pretty crummy Muzzle break and a few members of my shooting club have suggested looking for something better.
What i am looking for are suggestions on which break is both effective, reliable and easy to clean and where abouts in the UK should i look. I do not think i will be having a moderator but happy to hear if the experienced 600yd to 1000yd shooters prefer. TIA

Brakes ... this is worth a quick read.
Muzzle Brakes and More (MBM) brakes are some of the most effective brakes I have ever used! This is Nathan’s 5 port Beast. What caliber do you want to tame.

Did you try the brake that came with the rifle ?
The same brake came on my sako trg and I found it quite good.
I prefer to use a mod though.

I have a brand new Tikka T3X Tac 6.5 Creedmoor. No shots through it at the moment. The Tikka came with a cheap muzzle break not impressed its held on with an allen bolt. Tacky IMHO

The standard muzzle brakes on the Tikkas are good, assuming it’s the right one:



Quite a few muzzle brakes are secured with an Allen bolt once they’re screwed on. Makes timing them correctly a much easier job!

Yes thats the one. It just looks a bit "unfinished" again the Tikka has not been shot yet awaiting day at Altcar to zero in at 100yds then i think we maybe the agaon at 300yds and 600yds. Hoping to get it setup first. Will pop the break on too it needs to be really torqued down the allan bolt. I need some dies too, once i have shot the brass i want to reload.

Its a good muzzle brake. There's no need to over tighten it.
I don't see any point in changing it unless you just want something bright and shiny.

Yes, looks like the same brake that came with my TRG22 which I've found to be excellent and effective. However I don't tend to use it often any more as I also prefer a moderator as that's rather more sociable on the range.

I may start another thread about a Mod. But first i need to zero and see how it shoots.

If your looking for a mod for target shooting just buy one of the ase stainless ones.
