| Shortly I'll be sending a 340 Weatherby to this company - http://www.bp-tec.com/ ... They have several demo videos to review so you have an idea of how they work... They are very efficient, control muzzle flip and send the noise up and down range so it doesn't beat up the shooter nor anybody around him (very nice concept)... They are a bit pricey but after spending Weatherby dollars I guess it isn't so bad.. The nice thing is that you can pretty much leave the brake on even when hunting without causing any hearing loss... Ken....

The most efficient muzzle brake is not to put one on your rifle. That way you can save your ears, and not have your friends think you are a wuss. |

| The best brake I ever had was made by a local gunsmith named Homer Strickland. I don't think he is making brakes any more sadly. I have a picture around here somewhere I'll post. |

| I bought a Savage 112BVSS, stainless steel, single shot boltaction, with fluted 26" barrel and promptly ran a 7STW reamer thru it before I ever shot it. It has an original Vais muzzlebrake on it that George Vais made and installed for an article I did for Precision Shooting Magazine. I shot the Nosler 140gr ballistic tip about 3500fps, and the Vais brake lets me see bullet impact out to 500-600yards thru my scope. Yeah, 500-600 yards; Leica Geovid range finder binoculars...

| The combination of reduced recoil and very minimal increase in noise by the VAIS brake is unmatched by any other brake.

| I put one on made by JP Enterprises and love it. Not much to look at but it tamed my .300 Winny down to about a .243. http://www.jprifles.com/

| I recently built a customer a 30/378 wby mag. The rifle with scope tipped the scales at 12.5 lbs. I put a Vais brake on it and the recoil was like a heavy barreled 243! Vais is the only way to go. Just my .02 worth.
