    Get, with Sinman. He's done two for me. One of them on a varmint contour. Another on a heavier barrel. I got them from Ross Schuler for $40.

    Geargrinder, did you send your while rifle w/ action to sinman or just the barrel?

    Since RWS muzzlebrakes need to timed (left right ports aligned), thought you would need to send the whole rifle get the muzzlebrake on.

    has anyone ever used a vaise break? i had seen in midway that you can get them in different diameters so to match a barrel O.D.

    I have a Vais on my custom Rem 700 300RUM....the gun weighs 12lbs, which helps alot, but the brake is great!!!!!! I honestly don't have to put the "oh my god, here we go" death grip on it while shooting it....VERY soft shooter....rsbhunter

    I don't have a picture of the varmint barrel. Here is my heavier. Sorry, it's a bit out of focus.

    That's the guy.

    I didn't send my rifle to Sinman. I have a couple lathes, but I suck at threading. So, I headspaced the barrel and took enough off the end of the brake to get the brake timed correctly.

    Sinman has brakes that are very similar. He also does has shims to time the brake as well as thread protectors.

    I really recommend this style brake if you're ever going to be shooting prone. A Vais style will kick up all sorts of dust, dirt, and rocks.

    Vais are twice the price almost and usually come in a odd thread. makes a difference if you want to add a can or thread protector.

    That rather instantly ruled them out for me.

    Re: varmint contour break

    I have a Vais on my 300wm. It works well but the drawbacks already mentioned are quite correct. It throws dust and rocks like crazy shooting prone. Also the threading isn't what you'd find on a suppressor or most other muzzle attached devices so you are kinda stuck with it.
