Rich B's Review of American Precision Arms Micro Bastard The Answer Muzzle Brake

I have shoulder and back issues and needed a stronger cartridge than the 357 Mag rifle I have. I found a great deal on a 30-06 Model 70 sporter barrel rifle that a previous owner had threaded 1/2×28. When I was younger I had a sporterized Mauser in the same chambering and remembered that it kicked much more than I knew I could currently tolerate for range sessions. After narrowing down my choices of brakes for 30 cal that had the proper thread pitch, I started researching. APA's Micro B "The Answer" had the most thorough reviews and was near the top in unbiased tests for recoil reduction. I took my Answer fitted 30-06 to the range today and was impressed. Not only was the rifle pleasant to shoot, but the customizable ports on the top allowed me to keep the target in vew the full recoil impulse. To me, there was a negligable difference in recoil between my 357 Mag lever action and the 30-06 with this brake. If you want or need something to help manage recoil, I believe you should seriously consider APA's The Answer (especially on a hunting rifle). This thing is lightweight, easily timed, and does not look gaudy like some brakes.
