Affordable 5/8-24 muzzle brakes that don't suck?

[BCP]

Are there any decent affordable brakes out there? In the past I've used JP brakes but on this rifle I want something lower profile and less money, if possible. Ideally 50-75$. Suggestions?

Talk to Ross. He goes by RWS on the hide.

Take a look at the Damage Industries muzzle brake, less than $20.00 and it works pretty good. I had one on my LR 308 and it reduced recoil about 15% to 25%, at least in IMO.

(POF)My friend runs this on his 223. I'm guessing that the 308 version will work well also. http://www.pof-usa.com/shop/index.php?id_product=35&controller=product

(YHM)I've also only experienced this one in the .223 version but its hard to beat for the price http://yhm.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_7&products_id=106

The PRI QC Brakes are very good for the money (usually ~$75) and they don't have a large profile. They have a couple different models (black and stainless) in both a straight, heavy-barrel model with a larger diameter of 0.95" x 2" in length and more traditional AR-type brake (0.75" tapering to 0.95" by 2" in OAL).

I bought my last one off MidwayUSA for $76 and used a discount code for $10 off $50 for a delivered price of ~$73.

Its just outside of your budget new, but I have the PWS brakes on all my guns... FSC30s on the semi auto rifls and PRC on the bolt action. They are AWESOME (as long as youre behind the gun and not standing next to it, then it sucks!)
They are on Amazon for $95 shipped and include a nice shim kit with them for clocking it correctly.

This brake is made by a hide member that RWS suggested I contact because at the time he did not make brakes for the AR. It's a great brake and once I used it I haven't looked for another! I do believe there still $50 shipped. Contact Jake via email [email protected]

I second the POF 3 port brake, it works fantastic.

A member here on the hide does a GREAT job! I own two rifles with them and love them. He can turn it down to any profile barrel you have and any threading you want mine cost 40$ I believe here s his website

Good looking brake, may try one out myself.

Do any of the above companies install these brakes (need barrel threaded), need one for a model 70 300 wsm.

I have an FSC30 brake on my .308 SASS. It really lessens the recoil. It is easier to keep the scope on target and makes the .308 almost feel like a .223.
