Looking to put one of these on my Sako 85 Long Range which has a Vais style muzzle brake. Wondering if anyone has any experience with this and overall recoil reduction. Im debating between Badger and Kahntrol. Not too many options for M18x1.

I have read good reviews about these muzzle breaks.

I would choose one of these over a Badger Mini FTE.

How is the concussion on the shooter? The only reason i wasnt looking at that is because of the angled back ports. I was going with the ports that were 90 degrees to avoid additional concussion.
Yeah you are right, there will have a little more concussion to the shooter but it's not that bad.
I shot my friends 338 LM with a Fat Bastard brake and it wasn't bad at all but it did have a 30" barrel, hardly any recoil.
I guess if you want to minimize concussion to the shooter the Badger would be a better choice.

Its going on a 300 WM with a 26" barrel. Its a Sako 85 Long Range. Looking to shoot prone and the standard brake will kick up a fair bit due to the ports on the bottom. So I was looking at something with 90 degree ports since it tends to keep the blast forward a bit. Guess the only way to really know is to shoot both, but thats an expensive proposition.
When you shot the 338LM did you feel any concussion yourself?
Not much at all, it was a very pleasant rifle to shoot.

I used the information in this report and went with the Center Shot Rifles model.

I've got an FTE on a .308 and it works well.
The Fat Bastard type brake will divert to the side and back. The shooter won't tell much difference, but if anyone is shooting next to you the won't like it.
