The brake seems to work very well. Surprised it has only two ports, but they are obviously doing the job!

On behalf of the very very mean dude who did it, as he is barred from logging again on this site:
Just relax, guys! Can’t you take a joke? Can’t we all get along, as Rodney King once asked? Monsieur Pierre Deloume (the “h” was an inside joke)is particularly well known for his proverbial sense of humor, his joyful character and the extreme tolerance in his consideration of his neighbor’s opinions. Should he consider himself the innocent victim of a cruel joke, he would have been the first to log on this site and ask for the removal of his alleged statements. He chose instead to take them for what they were: practical jokes, without any intent to libel or denigrate his competences or his position in the Department of Public Safety. The outlandish claims that the 6mm was unable to reach 1,000 yds should have been a clue for everyone having a fair knowledge of long range shooting, and anyone ever having heard about Monsieur Deloume’s skills with a target rifle should have guessed that jokers were at work, the terribly broken English or the very loudmouth style of the outrageous statements should have been another clue for anyone remotely acquainted to Monsieur Delhoume’s long experience with guns and long range shooting.
This gentleman didn’t feel insulted or diminished by any mean and it is highly regrettable that some people in his forum chose to take the matter in their own hands and to overreact to what is just a gentle warning not to take oneself too seriously. Nobody is a sacred cow, and everybody can make dumb statements, Monsieur Delhoume is certainly no exception.
No need to involve other LE units or to disclose IP addresses or any relevant confidential data.
It’s just time to move on.

God Bless America.

Those French have at least a sense of humor.

Guys, apparently a “practical joke” has been at work here. The real Pierre Deloume works for one French law enforcement organization and actually shoots a .243 Win at long range. It appears that a rival French LEO has been posting these misinformed comments about as some kind of spoof. So we can all relax now. I’ve blocked the IP address of the practical jokers in France.

hello, i’m a french shooter and i’m moderator on the tirmaillyforum.

I’m afraid, but the “Pierre Delhoume” writing here is not the real one.

Pierre belongs to the neighbough house (=Police) and not to the “gendarmerie” (GIGN).
I’m sorry for the US shooters, they have been victims of the “french polices war”.
Pierre shoot regulary at 1000m with a PGM UR chambered in….243W!

His real name is Deloume with no “H”.

I beg the US shooter’s pardon for this silly episode.

I apologize for my english.

For the french:
Votre manip est à chier. L’adresse GIGN qui sort quand on passe sur le nom de Pierre, ça fait tâche.
Son nom mal orthographié, encore plus.

Pour l’intervention, le GIGN est sans doute parmi l’élite, pour la manipulation sur internet, vous en êtes encore au niveau du fishing des ivoiriens. What a pity! pour conclure en Anglais.

Greetings from Serbia! Really nice place to meet such dopler expert. Locally we have little bet for that kind of claims…. If you are such an expert and so sure in your knowledge, just stay on 1k yards line and wait my 5 humble 6mm bullets. All costs on me except the funeral

It is a wonderful thing to see my French shooter friends posting notes. Merry Christmas to you all!

Back to the rifle at hand. How did you like the handling with addition of the muzzle brake? I got one on my Eliseo RTS in .308 and it’s made a world of difference. The gun handles more gently and jump is now so well mannered it’s no trouble to spot my hits which is particularly useful when competing in unknown distance matches.

“… it takes 3000/1116 or 2.69 seconds for the sound of each hit to reach the shooter.”

It also takes about 1.25 seconds for the bullet to get from the rifle TO the target. So the total time from firing the shot to hearing the clank is nearly 4 seconds.
