Insite Arms Heathen 5 Port Muzzle Brake

[HogsLife]

Wondering if anytime has any experience with it? Been kicking around either the Sidewinder or the Heathen 5 Port for my 7mag.

kiddo has an Area 419 on her 6.5 and I ran a Heathen on mine. Liked it a lot but no experience with the 5 port heathen or the sidewinder.

The sidewinder is nice on 7mm’s.
I’d like to try a 4 port as I really like the 3 port on my 260.
The 5 port is pretty fat and would look silly on my heavy Palma.

I had the original Heathen on a prior gun and loved it and now have the 4 port Heathen and its great, really works well.

How long of muzzle tenon will it take?

Here is thread length of actual brake, if you back out the outer collar you could get more distance, pretty sure its the same as the regular Heathen

With the outside collar on and tight, measured to the last internal thread its .705”

Just dawned on me that the sidewinder has different options for different contour barrels and the Heathen does not. so I may just have to run the Sidewinder being this will be on a Rem varmint contour.

Brake is all same diameter, adapters for different threads.
Sidewinder isn’t a small brake.
this is a heavy Palma barrel.

An .885 Heathen looks good on my medium varmint 260 barrel.

yeah disregard. It’s was the 3 port heathen that offered different body diameters for different contours.

I'm thinking of picking up a 5 port Heathen - pictures of the 5 port on your gun are welcome
