need help on a brake..

[perkinsd_theone]

I have a sporter #5 contour (.700 barrel dia.) that needs a brake.
Which is the most effective ? I thought I wanted an FTE but see that min. barrel is .800 and that leaves me in the rain.

any advice is appreciated.
thanks.

Have you looked at the thruster?

I second the thruster. I have the fte and now I wish I had the thruster.

I just ordered one of the RWS brakes. It looks and is designed very similar to the Thruster. I was going to get a Thruster myself, till I seen RWS's brake and all the good reviews, plus I like buying from a fellow Hide member. I PM'd him 2 hours ago and told him what I needed and my Brake is already set out ready to be shipped in the morning. That's good service.

He has a few brakes for sale in the Classifieds.

Check out the Shrewd varmint brake. My barrel OD is .950" and my smith turned down the rear of the brake to match the contour. The rifle shoots like a baby now. The ports are angled forward and there are none on the bottom so shooting prone is OK.
