So I shot my new .223 the other day and its great, however I am a bit disappointed that it recoils slightly too much to watch hits through the scope. It weighs 8 lbs scoped and obviously is not uncomfortable to shoot, but being able to see hits is one of the main reasons I went with a .223 instead of a .22-250.
I plan to buy a suppressor in the future, so since the cost and hassle of threading the barrel will happen sooner or later, it is basically irrelevant. It seems there are many muzzle brakes/compensators available for .223's due to the AR-15, but obviously they will work on a bolt gun as well.
I'm looking for any recommendations either on particular models to look at, or from anyone who has put a muzzle device on a .243 or smaller, and if it made any difference. Thanks.
