I know its gamer and not needed but who makes a tacticool brake for a 223? Im using a Shilen #7 barrel so it will be a large diameter. Im building a rifle for both long range shooting and woodchucks. I love be able to see the hits. We just installed a Vais brake on my 22-250 and its unreal what a difference it makes. This rifle was a stock 700VS and now its going to have an A5,new trigger,trued,new barrel, and lug.
 
You could go with the Bagder Micro FTE or Mini FTE. Hell, even the full-size FTE comes with a .22-caliber bore from the factory, so it could work (although the recoil reduction with that thing on a .223 might be just about much about the weight as it is about the gas/baffle interaction).
