5/8x24 6.5 Creedmoor Muzzle Brake for Tikka T3X CTR

[Blueknight99]

Planning to buy a Tikka T3x CTR with SS Barrel In 6.5 Creedmoor for my hunting trip this season. Have no time to build with 3 weeks to go and hence planning to get this for this year.

Having said that - I need recommendations for a good muzzle brake in the 5/8x24 6.5 Creedmoor. I know it’s not needed but still.

Thanks and appreciate the advise!

We do our MDT Elite Muzzle Brake 5-8x24 that'll work great on your gun!

Area 419 hellfire and APA little bastard are both recommended a lot. I shoot a JP recoil eliminator and a Dead Air key-mo brake and they're both great. I don't have any experience with the MDT but berything else they make is great so I wouldn't hesitate.

Good news is the 5/8x24 thread pattern is pretty standard, so take your pick.

Area 419 Hellfire looks like a good option

I have the Heathen that Lowlight used to his satisfaction in the thread he did on his .260 Rem T3X. Tool-less and works great. Lots of folks like the Area 419 Hellfire on that gun. It's a newer design than the Heathen, and I'd probably try one on the next go-around.

I’m really liking the Heathen.
works well without being nasty

I switched from a Gen2 APA to a Hellfire, and I prefer the Hellfire. Better muzzle climb mitigation and possibly a little better recoil reduction with the Hellfire. I also haven't had the Hellfire come loose at a match - the APA, not so much.

I had the APA Gen 2 on another gun. I prefer the Heathen just because of the tool-less design if nothing else, but I replaced the APA with the TBAC compact brake to use with one of their suppressors.

I have a PVA Jet Blast on mine and love it.

 

[John Glidewell]

tried many, really like the X-caliber xterminator.

 

[Wannabustbunnies]

I also have a Heathen and it is less blasty and more comfortable to be around than a Lil Bastard or Hellfire but still works well

Lots of guys in our area like the Kahntrol. It helps that they are big supporters of our sport. Www.stoprecoil.com

Have shot Surefire, apa, dead air, and an impact. i stuck with apa as a break and only use the dead airs as a suppressor adapter.

 

[SonicBurlap]

PVA Jet Blast gets two thumbs up.

 

[Ccollins02]

The Area 419 Hellfire is what you seek! It does a great job with recoil mitigation and is about as easy as can be to install and time.

 

[kai24]

Hellfire!

 

[patriotnation]

I use a PVA Jetblast on that same rifle and I love it.

Dude it’s a 6.5 creed and it’s not a featherweight. Not worth putting a brake on for hunting and risking damage to your hearing. A shot with no ear pro with a brake is WAAAAAAAAY worse than no ear pro and plain muzzle. Yes ideally you should wear ear pro with either, but you can get away with a shot hear and there with a regular muzzle. Shooting a braked rifle without ear pro is just plain fucking stupid and dealing with ear pro in the woods is a pain.

Get a good brake like a APA or the like for range time, confirm the shift (if any) with brake on/off, and run your thread protector for hunting.

Or better yet get a brake that a silencer attaches to and then run a can. Best of both worlds and hearing safe. You’re not going to get a cab approved in 3 weeks though unless you’re a dealer transferring on a form 3.

I use area419 hellfire,very easy install and timing.

 

[NewsShooter]

Area 419 or muzzle brakes and more for me.
