I really like my Jet Blast from Patriot Valley Arms. Did a podcast with them to talk about it. Josh goes into a lot of detail about brakes and how they work.

I agree, have one on my AR10 and a clamp on on my Savage 111 in 7mm RM.
Almost every gun in our circle of friends wears a Precision Armorment brake of one design or another. They seem to have a model to suit everyone's application for what we perceive to be the best value.
Also, check out the Mark and Sam after work 4aw online store. He is machining his own brakes, and has them available for sale. There doesn't seem to be anyone I know of that is achieving higher standards than he is.
Many Good ones out there, +1 on the APA line and I would add Area 419. Good luck.

I have several different kinds Vais, browning Boss, lil bastard, and area 419. I like the ease of the area 419. Easy removal to put on suppressor then goes back on simple. The Vais looks nicer but More complicated to remove and reinstall. There is a brake out there,Brockman, that looks interesting. You can turn it on or off with simple twist. Kind of nice to hunt without the brake but practice with it on. I believe I'm gonna try one on my next rig.

Terminator T3. Tried a few others but they didn't come close in effectiveness.

If you shoot prone a lot I would strong suggest a side vented directional brake. I've shot critters with both and the radial brake blasts too much dirt into your face.
I had my 6.5 PRC built with just a threaded muzzle instead of a timed on brake. It's fine shooting it like that but I like to see my hits and the mild barrel jump doesn't allow that. So, I put on a 419 Hellfire self-timing brake which cured the issue. I've always used a timed brake so I was unsure of a self-timef brake that attached like the Hellfire, but it's been fantastic. Once properly tightened it's stayed on straight and level.

A few years ago Cal Zant did a muzzle break study and the results can be found online. The APA little bastard did very well.
it can be found by searching for precision rifle blog.
A few models like the area 419 have come along since then. APA also updated the attachment method in the mean time as well. It's still a good choice.

The rifle he is talking about is already threaded, just doesn't have a brake. No point to a clamp on system when threads are already in place. However if you want a brake and don't want to pay the approximate $100 to have your barrel threaded, it is an alright option.

I have a Remington 783 bull barrel that doesn't have a break and your really don't need it That's my opinion
