Muzzle Break on a 116 300 Win Mag?

[FreqRideR]

Is it possible to put a muzzle brake on the 116 xp trophy hunter in a 300 win mag? The barrel measures .585 at muzzle so a standard 5/8" 24 pitch (.625") .308 MB won't work? I would have to go with a 1/2" threaded brake, which I only found one for .308. The Bear hunter must be a different contour? Maybe just buy a barrel that's already threaded? Or custom job?

Any gunsmith can take care of that for you, I was going to have one put on a model 16. 7mm wsm, 135.00 was going be the cost !!

I agree. They will probably face off at the muzzle not behind the thread.

Witt machine bolt on brake.
Not the most elegant solution but they do work and accuracy is not an issue

I have a witt clamp on mounted on a 300 win mag. I would say it is about a 15 percent reduction.

Any other clamp-on brakes?

Looking for one for my 7mm.
