What is your thoughts on Threading a Hunting Rifle Barrel and Adding a Flash Hider?
Thank you John Paul Steckler the 8th.
Example:
Savage 300 Winchester Magnum Rifle ....

Answer:
For the most part it is an excellent idea. Adding a Flash Hider on a large caliber center fire hunting rifle can reduce the recoil by 25 to 40 percent.
I recently had my Savage 300 Win Mag Barrel threaded and a Flash Hider added, see pictures above.
The downside is the front sight must be permanently removed. Also if this is a collector or high value rifle I wouldn't do it.
But on a standard modern Hunting Rifle like a Savage or Remington that is all ready outfitted with a Rifle Scope I would recommend it.
Note - Many New Hunting Rifles do not come with Iron Sights.
Also once the barrel is threaded it can now accept a Suppressor (silencer).
Since the front sight has been removed the use of iron sights to sight in your target is pretty much out of the question so a Rifle Scope would be needed. Therefore, cost becomes an issue. If you all ready have a Rifle Scope mounted then get your Hunting Rifle Barrel Threaded and a Flash Hider added. Make sure you use a reputable gunsmith for threading otherwise the rifle barrel is rendered useless. You would then have to replace the entire barrel or cut the barrel length down. Also make sure you put on a quality Rifle Flash Hider these usually cost around $45.00 to $60.00. Threading a Rifle Barrel is between $65.00 and $135.00.
