Muzzle brake advice

[coach4christ]

Hey guys, I need help. I'm having a 6.5 creedmoor being built as we speak. I purchased a surefire brake to put on it(not sure of the model number). Anyway, the brake does not match the contour of the barrel at all. It is a good bit smaller in diameter than the heavy contour barrel it was going to go on. I really don't want to have the barrel turned down, so does anyone have a brake that they recommend? I don't want an obnoxious looking brake, I want something simple and effective.
Thanks,
Will

Any brake from American Precision Arms will work and look great. For a cheaper alternative take a look at the Badger Thruster.

Get a suppressor

I really like the badger mini fte. Get the 22cal and have it bored to 6.5. Very effective and you time it yourself, easy removal for a can/cleaning

I just looked at the apa gen II little bastard. May give it a shot

I just put one on one of my rifles. It is now my favorite brake.

What is the diameter of the barrel where it would meet brake? What size is the barrel threaded?

Great brake, great service, cheap price ($45).
