[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1373378, member: 2736"] There are many reasons to buy a better brake. Design, performance, Accurate machining, Consistency Brake to brake, And from a gunsmiths point, Ease/cost of installation. Cheep Brakes are normally cast or use material that Is "Cheep" instead of using barrel steel that Matches the material of your barrel. Also they are normally Tapped instead of threads cut on a lathe or CNC machine. (Taped Threads are by nature slightly tapered and the smith has to fit the barrel tenon threads to the taped threads of the brake, Making for a less than desirable thread fit) and taking more time and money to install. The reason that some brakes cost more is simple. Better design, better quality, Better materials, And most important, Better performance. In some cases the top end brakes out perform the low end brakes by up to 50%. This difference is not that important on Low recoiling rifles. But when putting a brake on a heavy recoiling rifle that will normally exceed 40+ ft/lbs of recoil without a brake, this quality difference is "Very" important and can turn an unacceptable recoiling rifle into a very pleasurable one. In out testing, we found a range of recoil reduction from 18% (The poorest) to 74%, with the normal hi end brakes reaching 55 to60%. I will never divulge the brand of the poorest brakes because that would serve no purpose, and we went to great lengths to prevent name calling or easily identifiable brakes being shone on the test VIDEOs. The only advice I can give is you get what you pay for. If you have a low recoiling rifle the reduction is not that Important. In my mind the material used is. But the quality and precision is very important for accuracy. I have never seen a high end brake hurt accuracy, But the same is not true with cheep brakes for many reasons. Buy what you want and live with the performance. When you buy/build a custom rifle worth thousandths of dollars, it doesn't make sense to hang a cheep brake on the barrel (Just like a cheep scope). This is just My opinion and it is not intended to criticize any brand of muzzle brake. it is just to explain the difference between a cheep brake and a expensive brake in terms of performance and quality.
