What kind of mount are you going to do?

Hey Beiruty, what is that "donut" looking device on your rifle barrel near the muzzle?
Nice looking ram, by the way. Good for you.

Re: Exotic Ram: Chipped Horn"
It looks to me like a resonator. A resonator is designed to affect the barrel harmonics to improve accuracy. For example, Ruger ships their new version Mini-14 Target Model with a (different) resonator. I know Limbsaver makes a similar product.The Annoyed Man wrote:Hey Beiruty, what is that "donut" looking device on your rifle barrel near the muzzle?

That's what I thought it might be, but wasn't sure because it looks like an aftermarket product.Jumping Frog wrote:It looks to me like a resonator.

Yes, there are aftermarket products like the Limbsaver, and this looks aftermarket.The Annoyed Man wrote:That's what I thought it might be, but wasn't sure because it looks like an aftermarket product.

Re: Exotic Ram: Chipped Horn"
I guess, it is quality product since I do believe in the limbsaver recoil pads. The best there is that is not from factory.The Annoyed Man wrote:How effective is it?Beiruty wrote:That is the limb saver version.Jumping Frog wrote:It looks to me like a resonator.

Great video.
As for efficiency. Limbsaver anti-resonator device slow down the vibrations and makes subsequent and follow up shots less prone to high deviations from the first shot. You do not need it if you belong to 1-shot 1-kill club.

Re: Exotic Ram: Chipped Horn"
Thanks a lot for the nice words, I am still waiting on getting it back from the Taxidermist. I plan on deer Trophy hunting at the same ranch this coming November. I would ask to shoot at least 10-12 pointer no less. We need more rain.
