Tuner/Brakes — Dial in Smaller Groups and Less Recoil
Tuners work. So do muzzle brakes. But until recently, you had the choice of one or the other. Now with combo tuner/brakes you can tune the harmonics of your rifle barrel while enjoying significantly reduced recoil (and torque). This is a “Win-Win” for shooters of heavy-recoiling rifles.
Rifle accuracy and precision have come a long way in the past 15 years, particularly for long-range applications. The most recent tool to significantly improve precision is the barrel tuning system. The Rifle Accuracy System (RAS) developed by Precision Rifle Systems, incorporates a precision muzzle brake with the tuner. CLICK HERE for Product INFO.
This system potentially offers meaningful group size reduction through control of barrel harmonics. The RAS tuner/brake system was the subject of a June 2012 Precision Shooting (PS) magazine article, titled “Improved Rifle Accuracy” and was also featured in an article in the November 2012 issue of PS titled “Tuning with Confidence”.
READ MORE about RAS Tuner Tests on .260 AI, .223 Rem, and 22LR rimfire rifles.
Copies of both articles and detailed instructions on RAS installation and tuning can be downloaded from www.bostromgunsmithing.com. Eric Bostrom is the distributor for the RAS.

“This is a “Win-Win” for shooters of heavy-recoiling rifles.”
But not for those either side of the user!
I refer interested readers to the 1997 Browning BOSS Patent No. 5698810 which apparently very few Muzzle Brake manufacturers have read. It was obvious to me having bought a 270 Win Browning Boss rifle over 15 years ago that the muzzle noise blast wasn’t noticeably more than my other 270’s yet the recoil characteristics were noticeably improved, as claimed by Browning. My reading of the Patent attributes this characteristic to the gas exit angle of 60 degrees approx. My guess is if you don’t want to break eardrums and maybe be sued, find the optimum compromise between muzzle noise blast and recoil reduction which I figure is what Browning achieved. Read the Patent!
