bmiller Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I have a S&W mp-15 with a 16 inch barrel. I have been dabbling in local 3 gun matches. I am interested in purchasing a muzzle brake. I thought about a jp recoil eliminator, would it be obnoxious for the shooter? What do you folks use and prefer? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 The tank break isn't legal in any division but Open in most matches. Try the rolling thunder from Benny or the Titan from SJC/Lund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Most of the comps ive been around or shot (not nearly as many as some of these other guys) are not very obnoxious to the shooter in any way. Now the other people around the shooter are a different story sometimes haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Thanks for the link to the poll. Looks like the SJC/Benny Hill/JP are all neck-in-neck. I have a Nordic currently, which came on my STI, and like it so far but I have nothing to compare it too. I read an article last year or so, I think it was in Front Sight, about rifle comp efficiency. The Nordic was high on the list in regard to muzzle rise so I have not changed it out. I am thinking of going to a SJC or Arredondo just to try out but not sure yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Ho Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Take a look at the new Firebird dominator comp. Probably not on the website yet but look in the dealer forum. I just got mine. I love it. I'm still a fan of the F2 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkCO Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Really, there is no one favorite. Too many little factors like load, gas system, barrel length, gun weight, shooter/gun interface. When it all comes down to it, there is not a lot of difference. Some of the most heavily marketed and "loved" comps which sell for $100 and more are no better than some of the $40 to $50 comps.

gabeechman Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I've been a big fan of the SJC Titan for a long time, but the Firebird Dominator has my attention. I can't wait to hear more feedback on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favorite is favorite, it's all based on your opinion or preference, not fact. We can have favorites all day long, it's the "best" or "top" that causes problems. Until there is some definitive, objective testing that tells us how to compare these items on an equal basis, we are just going off of subjective findings. However, there is something to be said for majority favorites. Is it a one-size-fits-all object? No. Will most others find it appealing since such a large majority already does? Probably yes.

Yes, favorite is favorite, and again there is not one. I have a few favorites, for different parameter groups. And there IS fact, just most shooters don't have access to it. I've run a bunch of the top comps in gas dynamics models with varying profiles, and there is a lot to be learned from the math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I have my favorite for everything - it's just a decision to be made since it's all about personal preference. So, can I ask what is your most used comp in 3gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, can I ask what is your most used comp in 3gun? I've shot more rounds with a JP Tactical comp than anything else, but I don't own one anymore. Probably equal amounts through Nordic Corvette and BH Rolling Thunder, have two Corvettes on rifles, no longer have the Rolling Thunder. I have three I am considering...Don't yet know what will be on my rifle at RM3G, but I have a month to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Holman Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 After reading many opinions here, and Pat Kelley's articles (http://multigun.com/articles/pkcompensation.pdf) I decided on the $29 Miculek. I deduced that the top comps are all so close, I had better places to spend some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
