ok, im finalizing my surgeon xl build

so far the basics are

AICS 2.0
krieger MTU 27inch
jewel trigger

right now, i am trying to decide on a muzzle brake, from everything that i have read the AR30, is the most effective muzle brake out there right now

im a big functionality guy, but i do like the way some of the other brakes on the market look, namly that of the badger FTE and the surefire and the benifits they offer.

i like the fact that the badger is removable and how the surefire is ready for their cans,

in the immediate future i have no plans to run a can on my 338, but you never know.

so basically just looking for thoughts on running an AR30 brake on a surgeon xl AICS build,

that ar30 brake is insanely huge. i have used both the fat basterd APA brake and muscle center shot rifles brakes on 338 edges and they were both very effective. one of them was 14lbs and the other 11lbs and i could shoot over 50 rds of each without any issues. honestly i am a recoil wimp so that is saying alot about the brakes.

It's true....he won't shoot anything over a 6 Dasher I've heard.

i dont really mind the size of the brake, it is going to be a pig of a rifle

i think i am going to give it a try, its threaded the same as the badger and SF so we shall see,
