Muzzlebrake

Cut that 24" barrel down to a proper 18" and add a Titanium Suppressor. You will save weight, reduce recoil, save your ears and have a hell of a lot more fun.

+1 on the TI suppressor route. you only be sorry about the wait time, then it'll all be ok when you touch off that first suppressed round. If you can't do a suppressor, grab one of Ross' brakes. they are affordable and effective. I use one on my 243 striker pistol and the gun barely moves on the bags. Any good brake will be loud because it is redirecting more gas backward. that's why the best brakes look like they belong on the end of a howitzer barrel.

I used T3 Terminator brakes on both my 110 .300wm and .338 Lapua. Expensive, but effective. Furthermore, you can get them cerakoted black and already turned down to match the diameter of the 110 FCP barrel (~.850"). Looks really nice.

Effectiveness testing: here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haFUYdpl36M).

I'm now using Kirby Allen's Large 5-port Painkiller brake... Can't comment on it's effectiveness yet, but I can't imagine there will be much recoil left on my Lapua. Again, expensive for what they are, but I have no doubts that it will be worth every penny when you shoot them.

Realize they brake effectiveness is going to be directly correlated to the amount of gases exiting the muzzle, and the velocity at which they are exiting (a brake on a .300wm will be a lot more effective than a brake on a .243).

I would go with a .243 or 6.5cm/260 rem and forget about those abnoxious noisemakers muzzle brakes.

Harrell's, can't beat the price and great guys. Takes the bite out of my 308 Hoghunter and it is not indexed. Don't believe you can reduce recoil and not have blast and noise.

I have a Witt Machine Co brake on my shilen barrel in .308 and it's fantastic. It's a clamp on brake, but I have to tell you, I never regretted purchasing it. I too have had shoulder surgery and presently have 6 anchors holding everything together, yet I can fire this rifle all day as the recoil is as light as a .223. I'm shooting 168g SMK's at 2880 f/sec, and it feels like a 5.56. You can't go wrong with a clamp on in my opinion.

+1 for this^^^^^^^^^

I too have had shoulder damage. Motorcycle accident, six broken ribs from top down, broken shoulder blade and broken collar bone that has a metal plate on it.

This Yankee Hill Machine brake I put on my build with an MDT Chasis shoots light as my AR15s even using hot loaded 168gr Hornady Amax rds ... kicks like a baby.

All I can say is I was very pleasantly surprised, and I liked it's looks which was a plus.

PRETTY PIECE PETRE... How do you like the MDT?

Gentlemen, thanx for all the responses, VAS SHOOTER, that testing report was amazing...

[vashooter]

Happy to help

[devildogandboy]

Another vote for Ross and Nathan, I have both. I'm going to give Nathan's new brake a try that I can time myself.

i say these guys, they do fantastic work and their brakes work!

It's excellent. Very rigid. accurate. AICS Mags slip in perfectly and close positively with bolt closed.

If I have any complaint it's just one. Wish the cheek rest was lightly padded.

Otherwise, it's an excellent chasis. They claim a 20+% increase in accuracy and I believe it. Can't confirm though because my stock came off as soon as I got the rifle home.
