Can't recommend this enough - Midwest Industries 30 Caliber Muzzle Brake For Ar Style .308 5/8x24

I bought this to go on my Gen1 6.5 Creedmoor RPR that didn't come with a brake. With the weight of this rifle recoil was never an issue to me I just wanted a brake because a thread protector looks stupid in my opinion. I installed it and love how it looks on the rifle, the picture doesn't show it well but this is a beefy piece of hardware. I took the rifle to the range and was very impressed with the recoil reduction. I was shooting 140gr handloads and able to watch impacts at 100 yards with my scope on 16x. The recoil was on par with my 12 lb 223 Savage which has a 24" varmint contour barrel on it. I like this brake so much that I am ordering it again to go on a 6.5 Grendel AR build that I am putting the parts together for. Thank you Midwest Industries and Optics Planet for offering such a great product at a ridiculously low price.
