Muzzle break on for a hunting rifle

[60mg]

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.
