[QUOTE="TxPhred, post: 1801041, member: 56833"] My suggestion, if you are still undecided, is to have the barrel threaded with a nice or matching thread protector so you have the option to add A muzzle device later. Aesthetics aside, there are many options out there, Unless your preference runs to a permanent muzzle break that will look like it was machined into the barrel. A threaded barrel provides flexibility in this regard and more “neighbor friendly” options at a range or when shooting close to friends. I have a couple of rifles with the permanent brake like this but I don’t shoot these prone and generally don’t use near others so not an issue for me - personal choice. I like muzzle breaks, but please wear hearing protection, they are considerably noisier and will cause hearing damage. The rifle in my avatar is an Eliseo Chasis put together by Pierce Engineering, they asked the same question and I went with a threaded end and they machined the thread protector and you have to look real close to see the cap, tooo pretty. I now have a suppressor and brake and I like the options this setup provides. POI shift? Yes, .75” low at 100yds with the can. Haven’t shot the brake yet. I am not recoil averse but the brakes make big magnums more pleasant to shoot. Good luck with your choice. [/QUOTE]
