This muzzle break does not perform like they advertise. The factory one on my Ruger 338 Lapua Prcission works much better. Leave the factory one on and you will be much happier. Also the factory one does not come off easy. They say 50 lbs of torque, more like 250. Ruined the lo k nut getting it off.
Would recommend: No

Does help with recoil but is heavy and bulky. There are other similar options that perform better but it is ok.

Decent brake. It is big and heavy but certainly does reduce recoil. I'm not a big fan of the shining to time it, but it does work. The big problem is it is made of steel and can rust, in fact the first one came pre rusted and I had to return and order another.
Pros:
- effective, at a reasonable price
Cons:
- Steel will rust
- Uses shims for timing
Would recommend: Yes

This muzzle brake is a great choice at a fantastic price, especially considering it’s currently being sold for around $60, a huge drop from its regular price of over $130. I'm not sure if this new price is temporary or will stick, but if you can get it within that $50-$60 range, it's a very good product for its kind.
The brake does its job effectively and is straightforward to install. It comes with a supplied shim package, which is used to time the unit correctly. Note that it does not come with a locking nut at the base. You have to adjust the provided shims until you can hand-tighten the unit against the shoulder of your barrel's threads and have the muzzle brake timed correctly.
My only problem with this purchase was not with the product itself, but with the shipping from OpticsPlanet. They sent the muzzle brake in a flimsy plastic envelope instead of a box or a padded mailer. The cardboard box it was placed in had collapsed entirely and was torn, and the steel muzzle brake was poking holes through the plastic bag. It was only by a miracle that everything was still in the bag and nothing fell out.
OpticsPlanet definitely needs to improve its shipping and packaging system. While the product is great, the way it was shipped could have easily resulted in a lost or damaged item.
Would recommend: Yes

Ordered this from Optic's Planet and received with very fast shipping. Very fine machining of this muzzle brake. Looking forward to mounting it on one of my AR's and seeing the results.

Put this on an 6.5 Creedmoor AR-10 and it eliminated nearly all the recoil. And the design fits perfect with the look of my rifle as well
Pros:
- Eliminates most of the recoil
- Allows for more accurate and quicker follow up shots
Cons:
- Very loud to anyone next to you
Would recommend: Yes
