I want to put a muzzle break on my older 111 in 30-06 ... something slim but capable to mitigate the recoil a little.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I’d recommend something that is ported and not a radial style if you do any shooting over a pack, bipod, prone, etc. to save yourself a face full of dirt. Other than that, they all seem to work to some degree of effectiveness. It won’t be as noticeable on your ‘06 as it is on an overbore magnum.
All the good, self timing ones are on sale right now. Look at the Patriot Valley Arms Jet Blast or Back Country...I have several of them and really like the recoil reduction. But they do create quite the side blast if anyone is near you.
Try the Bravo Company flash hider for .30 cal. It has a mild but noticeable effect on recoil.

Harrell's, great customer service, price is right and they work. Got one on a 308 and it makes a world of difference..... but they are loud.
I had one on a hunting rifle once.
I cut it off.
Yeah, saying "they're loud" is an understatement.
If you get one, get one that has the ability to be turned off.
Not sure why you're wanting to put a Brake on a 30-06? Shoulder or medical problems?
look up muzzle brakes and more
they have 2 to 5 port brakes
not sure why you want one on an '06, but your choice.
Ditto on the self timing but they are often more expensive. Im with you on a hunting weight 30-06, a break is the way to go. The reason for me liking the 7mm08 over the 06 in the woods. There is a guy that sells clamp on breaks if your barrel is not threaded. Might be in Colorado. Witt Machine I believe.
if you get a clamp on brake instead of threaded, you will loose effectiveness.
they have to provide large generic clearance which means more gas gets by.
if you are going to do it, get the bbl threaded and the brake clearanced to match.
Whitt machine custom cut's their brake's . I bet they have a black Friday sale . I have two one for a 308 and one for a 300 wsm . They work great no problems . About 500 rounds down the 308 . It does a great job with recoil and muzzle jump as the top is ported also . I lock Tite threads as per instructions as well as a little on the barrel its self .
you cannot "Custom cut" a brake unless it is ON THE BBL.

You send them 2 measurements of your barrel OD and they machine the ID of the brake to match.Quote:

I remember when Mikeinco was telling everyone on Accurate Shooter how much he knew and how everyone else was stupid. He is not on Accurate shooter anymore.
that is not CUSTOM..NOT MACHINED TO THE ZERO OF THE BORE..it just an od match.
measure the hole in the center

Here all this time my thought that too much Covid or undesirable election results were causing this guy to treat people like sh**. Remembering his arguement about "precision" rifles....lol.... Looks like maybe he has been a goat for quite some time. Funny he lasted this long here.
Now i have to go back in my records and see if he might be the guy who sold me a Savage Right hand long action with stripped threads in the bolt body and a Left hand bolt head.
Although it could have been from another forum and another guy somewhat like him.
Some people just dont care who they offend and screw over. They do not belong on forums with like minded individuals. One thing to disagree & state your opinion, but always a mistake to call out anyone as wrong unless it is for safety reasons.
People like that can go over to Facebook and argue all they want. Chances are Facebook would like them because they like anything that most of the Brotherhood of barrelnuts would be against.

answer the freaking question
not when was the last time someone MENTIONED mike in co,
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW MIKEINCO ON ACCURATE SHOOTER?
i know its hard some times

I tend to agree that an 06 isnt really much fun to shoot, especially from a bench.
I dont have a break on mine, but then i rarely shoot mine.
I dont have breaks on any of the guns i might walk around the woods hunting with.
But then i never walk around the woods hunting anymore either.
The ones i do use and shoot the most often, at least in the larger cartridges, all have breaks, and for one main reason, seeing my own hits.
i was clearing the air, so you did not have to go check your records.
hinted, implied...just clearing the air.

The Whitt brakes definitely are custom fit to your barrel taper. But because the outer barrel contour and bore may not be coaxial the bore of the brake is "oversized" to prevent mechanical interference. One poster said they aren't custom he meant the bore of the brake isnt indicated with the bore of the barrel. Of course test have shown the effectiveness between indicated "tight bore" brakes and greatly oversized brakes is only a difference of 1% - 3%. While individuals shooting them noticed no or slight perceivable difference.Quote:
