Has anyone tried this muzzle brake? If so, how about a review? What was the reduced felt recoil? Did it increase the muzzle blast like the other brands do?

I believe these brakes are intended for use on varmint rifles, not so much as to reduce recoil but to reduce muzzle flip so the shooter can see hits/misses at long-range.

All brakes increase noise. Some of the gas is not going straight away so it hits your ears harder. Just can't get away from that.

I have installled the Holland QD muzzle brake, most have been on small caliber, varmint rifles, the brake seems to function well for this purpose, noise- like Scott said, ALL muzzle brakes increase the noise to the shooter because of the distributuion of the muzzle gases. It is like standing along side of the rifle instead of behind.
