    Muzzle break...... Who should I have do it?


    I'm looking to have a muzzle break installed on my son's 300 RUM. He can handle it I'm sure, but for me its a little stout. The rifle isn't a Savage, its a Remington 700. I have had the rifle sitting into the safe for a few years unfired. After his hunting rifle was stolen a few weeks ago when he was home on leave I gave him the 300 RUM to replace his. I put it into a HS Precision full aluminum bedded stock, Larue Tactical 20 MOA base, Seeking rings, and a Vortex Viper HS-T 6-20-50 Scope. Its shooting Berger 210s very well for a factory barrel.

    Anyway like I said I would like to have a break installed on it before I take it to him. I am open to suggestions

    Thanks

    A less expensive solution is the Witt Machine clamp on brake. Have one on my 700 SPS with about 1000 rounds thru it & hasn't budged. They make it custom for your rifle. Just send them the dimensions they ask for on their site.

    I am awaiting a APS Painkiller brake. I haven't shot it yet, but I have read outstanding reviews. Kirby will install the brakes too. He is great to work with.

    I had them install a brake on my 300WSM a few years ago and am very satisfied with their work.

    Ross Schuler.

    I don't believe that he'll accept a barreled action though, you'll have to remove the barrel.

    Avoid the clamp on. Go with a brake that's precision machined to be concentric with the bore.

    Thanks for the input guys Im going to go with Mag-na-brake. Its 230 installed and I only have to ship the barreled action. Im not shooting the rifle any more until its installed. Just too much for me to shoot it accurately. He is gonna LOVE it! Lots of boom for a young EOD tech.... lol

    +1 on Ross Schuler, you won't find a better brake for a better price.

    Just got my 3 port Schuler brake yesterday but the round ports face down... shouldn't they face up? The side ports obviously are oriented correctly...

    They do face up. Sounds like you need to time it one rotation. Either use some shims or take a little off the brake.

    Wiil do. Thanks!! I'm very new to rifle shooting although I have been a handgunner many years. It seemed like muzzle flip would be ridiculous with the ports on bottom!! I'll fix it and go to.the range to try it out this Saturday.
