    Need some suggestions for brakes that are large enough for full bulls (1.2")...
    I've use Holland's QD before, looking for other options?
    Most I'm seeing are only large enough for 1" muzzle diameters. Customer doesn't want any taper, though going from 1.2" to 1" isn't very visible over the length of the barrel; but this will be a "shorty" at 20" or 22".

    Anything else out there?
     
    I'll have my new 1.24" Super Beast brakes done next week but they are only in 5 ports for the big stuff. I maxed out the port size so you can turn them down though. I was looking for absolute max recoil reduction and I doubt anything will be any better but I'll test them against the Terminator and APA brakes as soon as the weather and the mud in the desert permit it.
     

    I've used the Bastard brakes before...but not the XXX. Looks like the 1"x 14t might work, but this is "just" a .30 cal. I'll give Josh a call to see what he thinks; thanks.

    Rthur,
    Harrell's...well, you just enlightened me...I had only ever heard of them in the context of reloading. Sure as hell can't beat the price at $30-$45...I'll look for some reviews/info on them.

    Idaho,

    Thanks guys.
