What Brake are People using on the long range toys!..Luv to see them!

I have the Badger Thruster on my 7WSM and really like it. Smooth clean looks, effective, and doesn't vent gas down into the dirt giving me the tossed-salad effect.
 
RAD Rapid Brake, I like that its removable if I dont want to use it or if later I get a suppressor.

12+-+1

I'm weird.

I'll pay $2400 for a Premier 5-25 at the drop of a hat.

But I won't pay $125 for an APA LB... ...not when you can get a Schueller, Kampfeld or Harrells which is damn near the same thing for $45.

A seamlessly-fit APA LB is my favorite brake, but they're too expensive, comparatively.
 
Holland Radial Brake

Very effective at recoil reduction and muzzle rise. Also no dust kick up and minimal annoyance to others around you when shooting on a line. No issues what so ever for the spotter when they are behind the shooter.

The only thing similar about those brakes is appearance from a distance. The design and function of the APA little bastard leaves those others in the dust. Jered's brakes are worth every penny.
 
Anyone have a pic of a Badger FTE on a varmint contour? I got my wife to shoot my Accuracy International last weekend and she did very well with it and didn't mind the recoil so I am thinking about going with the FTE on the 5r I have and letting her shoot that rifle. She was hitting steel at 300 yards and it is the second time she has been shooting, first time was just a Savage 17 hmr.
 
This Brake is a bit on the wild side
Not sure about $190 worth of wild tho
also from grizzly

I mounted Grizzly's "The Hunter" Muzzle Brake on my Smith & Wesson M&P10 chambered in .308

Gotta tell ya that muzzle brake turned my butt kickin' .308 into a 9mm semi-automatic rifle as it pertains to recoil reduction !

Jeff Cox, the owner of "Grizzly Gun Works" is a Top Notch brother in arms and his custom brakes are worth every dollar spent and then some.

I've used a YHM 338 brake on my 300WM and it works amazingly well. My 105lb GF only shots that rifle. Saying it's effective is an understatement. I've also used the Little Bastard and a Muscle Brake. YHM is my favorite.
 
I use AAC 51T brakes on all my rifles, AR and bolt guns. I liked the idea of being able to use one can across 5.56, 6.5 CM, and .308. At $150 retail and $100 used, they weren't cheap, but I'm satisfied with the improvement, and once I (eventually) get my AAC 762SDN can, it'll have paid off!
 
I run the apa little bastard and love it, the guy next to me hates it though. Mark Gordon, from short action customs built my 260 and he made it a seamless break, looks like it was machined into my barrel. If I knew how to post pictures, I would. It was pricey but so was my rifle so I figured why not.
