Harrel's Muzzle Brakes

[Harry Knutz]

I can't say enough good things about Harrel's Muzzle Brakes! Myself and a friend were having some made by a local CNC machine shop, But the guy retired and closed up, This is the 3rd time I have ordered brakes from Harrel's. For the money I don't think you can beat the quality, Fast shipping etc. I do not know them, But I will be getting all of my brakes from them. I like beefy looking brakes on my target rifles, That's Just me. They have all types, Sizes and thread pitches. This one is on a 6.5 PRC. I have some Fat Bastards on my big boomers, But the next one I build I think I will try this brake, I'm doing a 300 PRC if I can ever find the stuff to do it with.

They are good people that make great products.

Been using their brakes for years- my "go to". Customers love the price, and their effectiveness.
IMO paying $200 for a chunk of CNC machined steel is absurd, but there are those that like to "drop names"...

I have the brake in the first post on my (personal) .300 WSM LR target rifle and it's very effective.

My gunsmith recommended a harrel's for my new to me 30-378. He used to build his own to install but started using harrel and has had no complaints especially for the price. I'll find out how effective they are once I get around to shooting the 30-378

I have a couple that when I received them I felt like I totally under paid for them.
Good communication, excellently machined, exactly what I requested and really fast delivery.

I have a 30-378 also on a Sako TRG-S Awesome caliber and the recoil is manageable with a good brake, Very accurate too!

anyone have experience with Harrel's tuner brakes? my benchrest shooting requires a radial ports not directional ports

 

[Harry Knutz]

I do not, But I have wanted to try one.

 

[BoomFlop]

They require a gunsmith to bore the hole, am I reading that correctly? I always like supporting good people.

 

[Harry Knutz]

Yes, They come with a hole for .224 bullets, They also need to be turned down and tapered to fit the barrel or blended in, Timed, And then polished etc. Definitely not a screw on and go shoot brake.

I love mine. Due to having a 1.25" diameter barrel I had trouble finding a brake to fit. I called for info and spoke with a real person. I was going to go with the 4-port tactical but due to my barrel diam. they recommended I go with the 1 1/2" radial and have my smith turn it down. Tamed the recoil of my 7mmRM down to about a .270.

Those look pretty nice and the price isn't that bad either; a good bit more than the Harrell's if you have a budget though. The Super Beast II would have fit my bill. I might consider them for my next build.

They look like nice brakes, But they are about double the cost, The harrel's brakes are only 5.00 more than the ones we were having made by a cnc guy. And they have that extra step of chamfering the ports, So I think they are very fairly priced, The ones I have used work very well.
