I am getting into long range shooting so I have a Savage on the way. I want to add a compensator that won't break the bank.
Any advice will be helpful.

Any suggestions on a compensator for a Savage 110 tactical?

I had a Surefire ProComp 7.62 brake on mine that preformed very well for the value. In the test below it was measured as the most reduction per $ of those tested.

Recoil reduction is part of the equation. Reducing overall recoil also reduces muzzle rise.
The other part of the consideration is how much muzzle blast is directed onto the shooter's head/face/eyes/etc.
Most of our heads are soft tissue, especially the parts we use to aim a rifle (eyes). Concussion is really bad for our anatomy and repeated concussion from muzzle blast (while tolerable) has substantial long term effects as well as the immediate effect of hindering our ability to shoot.
The PVA series of brakes is designed around the concept that a brake is not just recoil reduction, it is overall "shootability". Our recoil reduction is second to none on the list above. However we are the only one that is designed with a specific layout to cancel blast to the shooter's face and avoid putting muzzle concussion on the head/neck/shoulders of a shooter. I sent several off to some folks on USA Shooting and all of them started out by saying how muzzle brakes are awful, theyv'e never seen a brake that is truly shootable, just deal with the recoil, etc. All of them loved the Jetblast and ordered follow on brakes for other rifles.

I thought the Area 419 Hellfire was oversize and gaudy, but my gunsmith talked me into one.
He was right, and I couldn’t be happier. Greatly reduced recoil and muzzle rise on my 7mm rem mag.
It’s also nice that it’s self timing and can be removed without tools so I can easily swap on a suppressor.

The SS ones are done in the mill. Making the timing collars now. Once we have timing collars done (this week) then stuff goes to Nitride and we will have it for ya.

This is a discussion on this guy’s rifle builds. He likes APA Little Bastard Muzzle Brakes.
Hey buddy. I put a .30 cal Heart Breaker muzzle break by Timber Creek Outdoors on my 6.5 Creedmoor and it was like gold! It dramatically reduced recoil/muzzle rise. Now it seams to be a good bit louder to the shooter, but with good ear protection its the cats meow. I bought mine at a local gun shop, M&M guns and ammo, but they have a pretty good website. I got it for under $60 bucks. Hope that helps buddy. Cheers
I’ve got $30 Midwest Industries 7.62 brakes on both my .308’s,Savage 110 Tactical, and MnP 10. Much more effective than I could have hoped for considering the price. Actually feels like it works better on the bolt gun than on the semi.
