How to pick a muzzle for a .308?

[Dream hunt]

So a can is the over all best way to go from what I’m seeing?

I'll second the little bastard. I shot Jared's 300WM when he was developing it and the reduction was down to .243 recoil.

But get a can. Quiet, reduced recoil, maybe boosted velocity and better accuracy. Only downsides are weight and length.

For a hunting rifle - yes. For a long range gun, no. You want to keep that rifle steady so you can follow trace and spot your hits and misses. A good brake is much more effective than a can. I shoot both a fair amount. Shoot a fair amount of long range as well. A GOOD brake is impressive. Not all brakes are created equal or anywhere near equal.

Which brake would you personally consider to be the best for recoil and muzzle rise reduction?

If using a can, I'm a firm believer in the Lantac Dragon and they have varients for some of the most popular QD systems on cans

Why would you not get approved?

6.5cm and .308. A can would be ideal but with the way things are right now I don’t see getting approved and plus I’m getting Married this Saturday so I really don’t have the extra funds for 2 cans
