Looking to add muzzle brake for my Bergara HMR 6.5cm. Looking for sight picture help not reduced kick really. Hate adding the noise, but really want to see impact better. What do you guys recommend?
 
Muzzle brakes and not adding noise doesnt work out. If you want it quite get a suppressor? Or if your ok with loud then i like the muzzle brakes and more brakes. They are very affordable and quality made. I have a 3 port baby beast and 3 port beast. And they work great for spotting shots in a 30-375 ruger improved.
 
Fixing to have my 300WSM threaded and a brake installed for the same reason. Dropping it off next week to West Texas Ordinance for Clayton to fix me up. Heard good reports on WTO, so i'm gonna give him a try. Threading is for a future suppressor. One small bite at a time!!
 
I have three grizzly gunworks brakes, they make clamp on and thread on. Super happy with all of them. A buddy has the Defcon 1 that ggw makes on a 308, you don't lose sight picture at a 100. He put a ruger hybrid brake on his Bergara 6.5cm. We could hardly notice the difference in recoil. The 308 has noticeably less recoil than the 6.5.
I'm going to try the area 419 brake on a rifle I'm having rebarreled as another one to check out
 
I put a Holland's Quick Discharge brake on my 6.5 PRC build and it has absolutely no muzzle rise and easily stays on target shooting a 142gr bullet at 3110. As fired the rifle weighs 12 lbs (with scope, bipod and sling). It is the loudest brake I have but it works like it is suppose to.
 
Barrel contour? That make a difference.

I much prefer the look of a blended to contour brake.

I like AxisWorks Mini Slab or APA Micro Bastard brakes for lighter contours.

APA on #3B Bartlein


AxisWorks Mini Slab on #3B Bartlein


For heavier contours, Hawkins or Badger Thruster

Hawkins 3 Port on Proof Sendero Light


Badger Thruster on Rock Creek Rem Heavy Varmint

+1 on area 419. I just purchased a couple of them (30 cal and 6.5mm). They should arrive at my house tomorrow. Ease of install and their suppressor adapters (Thunder Beast) are what sold me.
