I've also sat beside braked rifles on the commercial covered range (in a previous life). Yes they are loud in that situation. I've never bitched about it though. To me it's just part of the sport. Rifles are loud. I agree and have at times been the offender. My interest in this thread is only to offer opinions. At my range I seldom see more than two of three people and have my choice of four ranges at different distances. I don't let people bother me.

Been know to happen. Now tell me how that applies to this discussion. What happens on the 'bench'.... is only about 1% of rifle usefulness. Who gives a schitt what a rifle does at the bench? What matters is in the field. Bitching about braked rifles being loud at the bench.... is like bitching that your car has a lot of road noise when it's idling in the garage.... You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......
