Badger FTE Muzzle Break...do they work?

[rweldon]

I thought about getting a Badger FTE muzzle break for a Remington 700P in 300 winmag. Are they effective?

Definitely.

Yep they do, thruster also works great on 300 wm

Worked great on my 300WM, but then switched to surefire.

Hell Yes!
Only thing is you have to have your barrel contoured for them.
Mine is on a 300WM and it made a world of difference in recoil.

I think there are better brakes out there for the 300win. Good all around brake I would go with a gentry brake. I have a buddy that has one of his brakes on a 300 winmag and it is great!!! One of the most quite brakes I have been around. It your going to do a lot of laying in the dirt I would go with an apa fat bastard. I love badger stuff but there are better brakes.

The FTE on my 300 wsm really helped with recoil.

FTE does work but not as well as a Tubb T2K

Re: Badger FTE Muzzle Break...do they work?

Yes, have one on 338 LM.
Does the trick

Re: Badger FTE Muzzle Break...do they work?

Works great on my .338LM

Re: Badger FTE Muzzle Break...do they work?

I was under the impression that they "clamped" on...if they require having the barrel turned down or profiled, I think I'm going to look into having the barrel threaded and put a thread-on brake on it. I have never had a brake on any of my bolt rifles, what are some good choices for a thread on brake?

Re: Badger FTE Muzzle Break...do they work?

Yes! I have on my .300WM and the recoil feels less than a .308.

Works incredible.

It is definitely a thread on brake. There is a bolt used to cinch down when you have the brake in the correct position. This way you don't have to have your barrel threads timed to the brake threads.

M40, the FTE is a clamp on style break, but also it is a thread on/clamp on break. Please see the link below:

I hope this clears up my comments above.

The one hting I've noticed with the FTE is it tends to be a little weightier. I've got one but may be a little biased because I mostly use a surefire.

Re: Badger FTE Muzzle Break...do they work?

It's a solid performer.

 

[zeke013]

Re: Badger FTE Muzzle Break...do they work?

It's awesome. Tough on guys to your side at the range though.

 

[zeke013]

Re: Badger FTE Muzzle Break...do they work?

I will say that after about 80 rounds downrange, I love this break.

Minimal recoil, easy to reacquire target.

Two thumbs up.

Re: Badger FTE Muzzle Break...do they work?

VERY Effective, and it doesnt steer the rifle like a surefire adapter without the suppressor on it.

Re: Badger FTE Muzzle Break...do they work?

Have three rifles with FTE breaks,and it works quite well.
Most effective break i've used to date.

Re: Badger FTE Muzzle Break...do they work?

I got one on my Remington 700 Sendero SF II 300 WM and its good to go. Felt recoil is way less than a .308 Win. I would suggest getting one.
