I need a muzzle brake for competition

[DeftSystems]

Good morning fellow snipers.

I have decided to get into PRS shooting. I've always wanted to do it, but after the military my life got busy with school, career, kids. Now it's time for a monthly match, so that I can get my old devastating form back (back in '82, I could throw a pigskin clean over those mountains!). I run an 18" 5.56 77grn SPR style rifle. I know that this round is obsolete, but it's not going to change anytime soon. I can either compete tac-lite, or just compete against myself for kicks. Does anyone have recommendations for a good muzzle brake? I've heard they are a key upgrade for PRS shooting.

I'd like to have it user-installable, and not much over $100. Made in America is important. I don't mind giving little guys an opportunity. Finish doesn't matter; it'll get rattle-canned anyway.

Here is one I found:

Witt Machine Rise Eliminator

Thanks for your thoughts!

honestly.....any muzzle brake is fine.

the difference between no muzzle brake and ANY muzzle brake is significant.

the difference between muzzle brake X and muzzle brake Y is really quite minor.....especially on a .223

find one you like the look of and can afford and go with that.

I haven't used it in competition, but I really like the silencerco asr muzzle brake. Granted, 90% of the time my suppressor is covering it, but when it is naked as a jaybird it allows for very quick, well placed follow up shots.

On a 223 I would run the rifle as is, especially for a first match. You can really get wrapped around the axle with gear for this sport. Take the rifle, the required round count + extra for morning sight-in and a "mulligan" if allowed/purchased at the match, bipod, rear bag, magazines (at least 2), eye/ear protection and go shoot the match. Look at what the other shooters are using. Ask to borrow anything you might need- I've never seen a request denied by a shooter. If you have a; fortune cookie, game changer, tactical udder, warhorse, or other barricade bag, bring it too but don't sweat it if you don't.

Btw, I have an APA little bastard on my 6.5 grendel and the factory ruger brake on my RPR. Both are perfectly adequate to the task.

I appreciate all the great advice. I think I have a good idea of how to proceed.

Description
Superior handling and a true competitive advantage are now available in a single AR15 accessory. You can maximize control, recovery, and speed with the Cobalt Kinetics Pro Muzzle Brake!
Our Pro Muzzle Brake is designed for use with any rifle chambered in .22 caliber with 1/2×28 muzzle threads. The brake is treated with an all new ultra-performance Black Lithium-iron surface conversion (or LiFe). LiFe treatment increases the steel’s hardness, strength, and resistance to erosion. At 3.4” long and less than 1″ across, the Pro Muzzle Brake is legal for multi-gun competition.
Superior Engineering
The patent pending design features a symmetrical linear array of intersecting spheroid baffles that dramatically improve performance. Exhaust energy is vented only to the sides to eliminate dust signature. The symmetrical port and baffle design eliminates the compromising effects that biased or directional porting can have on accuracy. This unique internal structure of the brake is calculated to produce a dramatic improvement in the brake’s effect.
The extra length and tight bore (.240 thousands of an inch) increases positive energy scavenging. The Pro Brake’s action is better described as a “burn” rather than a “burst”. Effectively, the brake is working for more time; thus, improving efficiency. The gain in effect negates the need for biased or directional porting.
Competitive Advantage
The Pro Brake has been carried to victory in numerous competitions by the Cobalt Kinetics Shooting Team (Keith Garcia, Kalani Laker and Rick Birdsall). The Pro Muzzle Brake was also used by Max Leograndis to take top honors at the 2017 California Bay Area Rifle Challenge. According to the team, the Pro Muzzle Brake’s outstanding performance was a contributing factor to their success and numerous wins from 2015-2017. The Pro Muzzle Brake is the most effective accessory available for improving the handling and performance of your AR-15.
The Pro Muzzle Brake is standard kit on all Cobalt Kinetics Team rifle models.
*The Pro Muzzle Brake can be coupled with our Pro Buffer System to further improve weapon control and handling.

I use MSTN brakes on a few rifles. I picked mine up from PRI.

Muzzle brakes are a training tool.
