I bought this thinking I would receive nothing but the best being that it’s Aero. I was wrong. The threading was not properly tapped. It will only screw 1/3 of the way onto my 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. To double check that it wasn’t my barrel I tried my 6.5 Grendel with the same result. I then went back to my creedmoor barrel and tried hand tightened it on again. Unfortunately this time it got stuck and I had to use my wrench. And of course I scratched it so now I have a paperweight.

This is what should come with Aero Precision stainless barrels instead of the black mil spec birdcage. This fits with the look and finish of the barrel on a 24” 6.5 Creedmoor build. I expect this to function as just as well as the other VG6 devices I have used.

OK, so this is my third VG6 2nd Gamma, and for the price I cannot find anything that works as good. I like the BBSS because it gets a nice charred look on the muzzle..OK it's trivial lol Everything I have from Aero Precision I absolutely enjoy..Thanks Optics Planet for doing such a great job getting these parts out to me during the plandemic :).
Best Used for:
- 6.5 grendal
- 6.5 grendal or 7.62x39

Recoil from the 6.5 Creedmoor was much more reduced than the 5.56 NATO from similar design Gamma muzzle brake for one.
Shot from a heavy bull barrel and bi-pod, the rounds can go faster and faster down range due to not losing sight picture on target. It was better than regaining sight picture on a much smaller round like 300 BLK sub-sonic.
Adds very little to the barrel length. Flash hider on Epsilon model not found on the Gamma is not needed when used with 20"+ longer barrels, even at low light.
The blast back is MASSIVE so quality ear protection is a must or you will lose hearing.
The good part is the sound is not directed forward as much and won't disturb game in that direction as much.
Pros:
- Recoil Reduction
- Faster follow up shots
- Value ++++

I've been using 7.62 muzzle brakes for both of my 6.5 Grendel, now there is a better option. The 6.5 Gamma is beautifully machined and finished. Brake worked great with 6.5 mm, much better than the "make do" 7.62 brakes since its exit hole is matched for 6.5 mm bullets.
Pros:
- Fit & finish
- Good compensator for 6.5mm
Best Used for:
- comp shooting 3 gun or target
- AR muzzle end
Would recommend: Yes
