Best Muzzle Brake?

I have a PWS precision rifle brake on my .300WM. Extremely soft shooting. The RO commented on the concussion but the gentlemen on the benches around me didn't seem to mind. It wasn't loud to me and I was only wearing surefire earplugs. I would easily buy another
JP Recoil Eliminator++++ I call it my little tank brake, Do to the fact this brake would be for Medical reasons this is the brake. I have one on my 308 and love it. This brake works that all I can say!!!!! I dont care what other people think of how it looks. I can shoot all day long with no aches or pains, why beat your body up and there is no need to. Recoil over time can cause problems to your body. When I do my part I can see the hit's, so if i need to make a quick follow up shot I can since I never lost sight of the target. http://www.jprifles.com/1.4.2_re.php

Yep Im goin with the MRAD Brake from R&D precision. Talked to them today, Im sold on it. Was wondering what they are made of? SS? Carbon steel? Are they in the white when you get them? I forgot to ask and Im trying to figure out if it can be blued or not. Also how much length does it add to the barrel? Shit, forgot that too. I have to call again. lol

If you have a local smith to thread your barrel, contact Ross Schuller on here, goes by Rem40xb1. He's made me several brakes for me, Holland-style, work great, GREAT price.
Allready checked them out. Sold on the clamp/thread style. Thanks for the but its too late to switch now. R&D MRAD.
The best break I have ever used is the Armalite break. Our AR-30 in 338LM has an aluminum butt pad. My 300WM has an Ops Inc brake on it. My 300WM has much less felt recoil than my 308.
Badger thruster is the way to go.Had mark king install mine on a .300 wm.It kicks less then my 308 does
Whats wrong with a limbsaver? They are very effective and you can easily put it on or take it off. I use one between one rifle a and a shotgun.
If this is true, I have the most effective brake in the world.. I have a Schrewd brake on my R700 in .308.. It eliminates recoil impulses to the point where my POA hardly shifts during the recoil impulse and I can spot my own shots from 100-1000 and everywhere in between.
I have also had people tell me that they wish they had earpro on while in their car, 25 yards away while driving up to the parking area behind and next to the firing line.. During our club matches, I easily have the loudest rifle on the line.. lol
No. No.
Thats a recoil pad. I dont want to pad the recoil. I want to REDUCE IT. For follow up shot, For recoil.
So as I said to the first person to mention a recoil pad. NO
Only brake I have is a Badger Thruster on a 7WSM. The gun is very comfortable to shoot but loud for others on the firing line. Without fail, people come and ask what caliber the rifle is since it sounds like a small artillery piece going off. I let people shoot it and they are all amazed at how little it kicks.
I really like the smooth look of having the brake blended into the barrel and the smoke streaks that run down my barrel from the brake. Reminds me of the exhaust streaks on the cowls of WW2 fighter planes.

Hi,
New to the site. I just picked up a .300 win mag and really like the looks of the R&D break. The barrel is threaded already. Is there any need to time the MRAD break or did yours just screw on and tighten down with the alignment of the ports correct?
I have Battle Comps on all my rifles...... I know it's a comp and not just a brake but I think it is the best compromise available for flash suppression, braking capability, and noise.
Mine went on almost perfect with the shoulder maybe .5 thread for the wall. Line the ports to the desired timing and tighten it down.
Most brakes are loud by nature. My TRG-42 .338 LM was pretty brutal before I put a Surefire MB on it. I would say consider a suppressor mount muzzle brake, a little bit more utility if you change your mind and get a can down the line.
If you go with one that is threaded for a suppressor, you can shoot it while you wait for you form 4 to be completed - shoot it braked while you wait, then suppressed after ...
