billt,

After you eliminate the variable performance/preference issues to a brake (I'm personally very happy with the one on my FLCP-K that came stock from Savage). At this point it is basically about aesthetics. Yes, you might get lucky and find one that "works" for you that has the same base diameter as your barrel. Otherwise, I would focus on side port only vs side and top port OR all 4 sides with ports. If you plan on shooting from the prone position on a dirt surface I would stay away from any brake with ports on the bottom (unless you shoot over a blanket or the like) as the ensuing dust storm/cloud is annoying if at all avoidable.
