[QUOTE="Montana73, post: 1879727, member: 111917"] I just installed an Area 419 Hellfire Self Timing Muzzle Brake on my new 7mm STW. This brake ports to the side and has a slight backward vent to the brake as it is advertised. Due to quarantine, I haven't been able to shoot it yet. I'm not sure at what angle backwards the gas escapes....45 degrees or more. I'm interested in where to place my LabRadar with this muzzle brake which is a side port and has rearward gas. Do I put it further back near the bipod to reduce effect or put it at least at the muzzle to be slightly in front of the brake blast. The LabRadar instructions say to put behind slightly of a brake but assume that is for a radial that doesn't have a potential rear gas blast. One person mentioned they were going to put the LabRadar on a quad pod or something that puts the radar on top of the barrel to eliminate the gas escape. Anybody have any experience to share? I was looking at a Zeadio Video Action Stabilization Handle Grip with a hot shoe adapter on top to mount the LabRadar on top of the barrel as an option. Not sure I'll be able to shoot under though but for $15 thought I'd order it. Might be able to cobble something together at make it high enough to shoot thru the Handle Grip. Any experience with this specific brake or similar and a LabRadar would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
