I am wanting to put a brake on my 308 and I have them narrowed down to the PVA, Area 419 and Heathen. I am kinda leaning towards the Heathen. What are your thoughts and who is a good dealer to purchase through?
Have muzzlebrakes narrowed down to 3, which one?

Area 419 for me. I run the Hellfire setup so it’s convienient and works. Brownells has 11% off with free shipping today only. Code L2Y
Ordered the Area 419. Took advantage of the sale and my 2 day shipping in the edge program. Thanks for the help
My muzzle brake journey
Muzzle brakes and more brake
SiCo ASR
Dead air Key Mo
And finally Hellfire.

Pick the one that makes you the most giggly, because you’re not likely to notice a performance e difference between them. Or, pick the cheapest, because you’re not likely to notice a difference in performance. Or, pick the most expnsive, because someone on the line might otherwise notice you skimped out on your muzzle brake...
I used to think the same with using suppressor mount capable brakes. When you move to an APA/Hellfire or such you WILL notice a difference.

Yup. Gucci gear is half the battle
.....And why I purposely use a black dress sock filled with rice as my small rear bag...
It's black, so it's tactical.
An important note is theat the 419 allows you to adapt a number of silencers so you don’t have to always give up shooting suppressed.
This is a good thing to note and sold me on them. You will be happy with the Hellfire, they are great brakes and are about the easiest to time on the market...

I've got the Heathen. A couple of mates have the Area 419 and it's noisier and directs more blast back towards the shooter compared to the Heathen IMO.
What do you have it on? How’s the recoil management? I’m running a Dasher so more concerned with the blast back but just curious.
I have it on a 6XC - MPA comp chassis, 26 Mullerworks Marksman profile barrel. Recoil was good before the brake went on, but there's a noticeable improvement with it on, the gun barely moves under recoil now, making follow up shots a lot easier. I reckon there's 35-40% less felt recoil and it doesn't direct the blast back at you unlike some of the others out there. I've been behind the APA Lil Bastard and 419 Hellfire and find the Heathen a lot more pleasant to be behind.
i have 4x area 419s 2 on 6.5 1 on 6mm and one on a .308 that never gets any action i can watch bullets impact steel from 200 all the way to 1300+ and see trace alot of the time if the atmosphere is right rhis alone makes me an advocate of a good brake the 419 hellfire has impressed me but i havent owned any of the other ones you mentioned
