Ruger SR 556 recoil question...

I recently shot my new Ruger SR 556 and found the recoil a lot "softer" than my gas operated system, but the muzzle jump dramatically moves upward and to the right. I found it difficult to hold on target or re-aquire target for followup shots very quickly. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm thinking a brake is in order or a tunable ported brake....is anything like that available?

I absolutely like the weapon except for the muzzle movement.
