Muzzle break

[LexRick]

I have a browning a bolt 7mm stw that I got in a trade. Recoil isn't as bad as expected but muzzle jump is pretty good. Thinking about a break just don't know what to get. Any help would be appreciated.

For me, I stay away from radial brakes at all costs. I shoot a lot of sitting and prone, and hate dust/sand/rocks blowing up during firing.

I prefer side port brakes. I assume a sporter weight barrel? APA Micro Bastard breaks are great, and can by turned down depending on your contour.

I also really like side exit baffle style brakes. I really like the Hawkins Precision brakes. I just put a 3 port model on my .284 and had it blended to the barrel. Recoil is like a .22-250, it's great.

APA The Answer muzzle brake fully tunable

side discharge brakes only. I have a couple from Piercision rifles, installed by axisworks in Tempe. Night and day difference. The most recent was a 3 port brake put on a sporter barrel on a 300 weatherby. It makes the rifle shootable without getting beat up.

Check out Nathan's (Idaho CTD) muzzle brakes (not break ;):cool::D) at https://muzzlebrakesandmore.com/muzzle-brakes especially his self-indexing beast brakes and his testing comparison videos at https://muzzlebrakesandmore.com/testing-videos

Good luck!

Duplicate post.

I'm looking for one myself. Seems APA is high on the list in a lot of test.

Every brake I've used works great, APA's little Jimmy(discontinued) APS small pain killer and T3 Terminator brake.

Kinda a what tickles your fancy. The APA would win me out just because of the tunable ports. I saw stock flex being a concern with brakes with top ports. You could just open enough to keep it flat and no more with APA's.

I've used radial and side port...they both work...I use to make them now it is easier to buy them...

Last 3 breaks for me have all been Area419. 2 hellfires and 1 sidewinder. Really happy with them.

All my brakes are Assassins. If the Assassin brake can make an 378 Weatherby Improved fun for a 14 year old to shoot, that's all I need.

I've got one and it's a really good brake. Doesn't blast you with dirt too badly. Makes my 7RM with a 168 Berger feel like a 260.

Plus 1 for the area 419 hellfire. The terminator T3 is also a great option.
