Re: What brake do you use and why?
RWS from the classifieds. Why?......It's priced right, looks good, and very effective.

Same here and for the same reasons, another plus for me is he is semi local to me.

Re: What brake do you use and why?
I use the R&D Precision brake on my 7mm. Its very effective, same profile as the barrel, removable, and inexpensive.

Re: What brake do you use and why?
On my .308 I had a AAC 7.62-SD brake mount for the obvious reasons and on my 6.5x47 I have a Badger FTE so I can take it off easily for a direct thread can.

Re: What brake do you use and why?
.338 LM, Badger FTE. Why?......big, ugly, <span style="font-weight: bold">LOUD</span> and it works!
.308, R&D RAD Rapid Brake. Why?......slim profile, user removable for cleaning, little felt recoil even with 208 Amax's & able to maintain sight picture/stay on target.

Re: What brake do you use and why?
I use a the AAC Blackout on my .308 and it works like a champ.
I also use the Muzzle Brake Non-Mount Single-Chamber on my .260 and it also works like a champ.

Re: What brake do you use and why?
Well I'm kind of stumped. My barrel is .700" will 5/8x24 work on this? Can one of the larger ones be contoured down to match? Won't this take away the recoil reduction?
How about the Straight Shot flat/slab type brake. Looks like it would work great??

Re: What brake do you use and why?
I love the hollands quick discharge, and i have tapered them to fit many barrels. I do like the APA's as well.

Re: What brake do you use and why?
Holland because it looks damn good, and works great. Little Bastard because it works great, and can also be blended to look like it's part of the barrel. Badger FTE because you don't have to time it, and some guys like that bold look on their rifles, and it also works well. Surefire if you're going to use their suppressor which takes forever to get.

Re: What brake do you use and why?
I run a Badger FTE because it's removable and dont need to time it.. Another benefit is it kicks crap out to the sides not down and up into your face.

Re: What brake do you use and why?
The APA little bastard does a great job and is easily contoured to be a natural blended extension of your barrel. Your sniper partner will however not be be happy. I am one of those partners - and I can say with 100% certainty its a little bastard. I am starting to get used to spent Varget getting blown into my sinuses at 250mph though!

Re: What brake do you use and why?
Fat Bastard on .338 lm here too. Looks great and works even better.

Re: What brake do you use and why?
Not meaning to thread jack but to everyone that uses a BO brake. How does it work when shooting prone in dirt ? Does it kick a lot of dirt all over the place ? Thanks for info.

Re: What brake do you use and why?
I use the Badger FTE. I have found it to be exceptionally effective at recoil reduction, it doesn't kick dust and debris up from the ground, and it is easy to take off or put on.
On the downside it is loud and concussive, but I haven't seen any brakes that aren't.

Re: What brake do you use and why?
Thanks for the info. Yes all brakes are loud if they work right. It is what it is. Now I have to order one
I dont mind the 300 WM kick but it takes the fun out of shooting after I shot 50 rounds this weekend.

Re: What brake do you use and why?
EBI Arms, near zero recoil with a 17" 308. They're going on all my rifles including the upcoming 375.
Roedale's are sourced from them, or a real good copy

Re: What brake do you use and why?
Welp ordering a RAD. My gunsmith recommended a clamp on type for timing, ease of removing, etc.
That Roedale is awesome looking, but my barrel is just too small. Think I'll go with it or a Badger for my .260!

I have two of these brakes and they work great. No ports on the bottom to worry about dust blow up. It makes my 7mm Mag feel like a .223 and at $45 its half of what anything on the market of equal quality is.

Re: What brake do you use and why?
1+ RAD brake because of its smaller size and because it is removable.
