Looking for suggestions on a Muzzle Break for my 300 WM it has the iron sights on it any suggestions???
 
I would think a Hawkins Precision or a titanium pro. Do you have any kind of scope on it too? do you have a gunsmith in mind? If you do I would give him a call and see what they say. I have a Hawkins break on my 7mag and shooting 180 its a pleasure to shoot. I would say it has less recoil then my 270win with no break easily. Probably close to a 243.

3/9/40 Ziess and i have gun smiths around but everything will depend on $$$$$$
 
I found out that i have to have the front sight removed so looks like the muzzle break will not be happening... Thanks again
I am not sure who told you that but I have seen plenty of Ruger M77 MKIIs with front iron sight and muzzle brake. What is the distance from the sight to the muzzle? Have you consulted a reputable/competent gunsmith that is going to thread the barrel? Hopefully, the resident gunsmiths will chime in.

roughly about 1/4 in if that
 
Can you post a picture of the rifle, esp. the front sight area?

Yeah, that's too tight. I am not sure it there is an after market sight that will allow more room for thread.

Another option is magnaporting but I am not a fan. You have to decide which one is more important to you; keeping the front sight it reduction in felt recoil/ muzzle rise.

I will keep the front sight and hunt with my new Kimber Hunter 270 Win... thanks for the intel

So i actually took into a Gunsmith and found out that I can put a muzzle brake on my Ruger 300WM. He looked it up and found out that the front sight is removable so i will I have turned it in and getting a Hollands muzzle brake installed and still get to keep my front sight. I am EXCITED TO TRY IT OUT!!!!!!!!!! I should get it back in a couple of weeks 😁😁😁

I am glad it all worked out for you. Have fun with it. Below is my Ruger M77 MKII in .338 WM, also with Holland's QD brake.
