Posted: 6/28/2012 1:40:57 PM [Last Edit: 6/28/2012 1:41:26 PM by Zeebadoo] THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Took my RRA Elite Op 2 out for the first time yesterday. DAMN it's loud! My brothers could hardly stand to be in the lane next to me with the muzzle break directing everything out the side! Overall I LOVE the gun! 2 questions: 1) What would be a decent inexpensive (read $100 or less) muzzle break that would make the gun a little more "range friendly?" 2) Are there any scopes (Red dot, ACOG, or other) that are decent in the same $100ish range? I know that I'm not going to get anything special in that price range, but are there any good bang-for-your-buck items out there? Next time I go shooting, I'll have to take a few pics..

Its a bit over $100 but it was worth the extra few bucks.

This is what I would do! $8 flash hider and then you have almost $200 for an optic. If you want it to be range friendly, then do NOT get anything that is a brake. You want a flash hider. I would just go with an A2, but ifI absolutely wanted something fancy on there, then I would either get a Smith Vortex or an AAC Blackout (non-mount). Both are around $50 new.

Or take up fishing. If you want a 'tube' type red dot, the Tasco Pro Points work well. So do the Millett, Bushnell, etc. and they are all around the $100.00 mark.

A2 Flash Hider from Midway Yes, the DPMS A2 flash hider will work for your gun. I say get the A2 and the Primary Arms Micro and spend the rest on ammo.

In general, muzzle brakes are pretty loud. I have a Spikes DynaComp on one of mine, but have only put a few rounds through it so far. It doesn't seem as loud as most other brakes, but again, I only have a few rounds through it at this point. They're less than $100, so it might be worth looking into. It feels like I'm shooting an air gun with that comp. It's so soft.

I've seen those. Do they have any compensating abilities, or do they just focus the blast downrange?
