.338 Lapua Magnum Muzzle Break

[6mmbrnorma05]

I was in a Cabelas store here in my home state of Texas, I happened to see a .338 Lapua Magnum in a Savage Elite Precision with a 30” barrel and an MDT Aluminum chassis for $2100 but they had some specials going on & with all that I got it for $1850 after taxes, I need a muzzle break I don’t want to shoot it without one! LOL

Any help to choosing one, will gladly help. Thanks guys..

PS here’s a pic but the scope is just mocked up there as the base screws that came with the picitiny they don’t fit they’re 8-40 & ones I got were 6- something diameter.

I would get a can instead of a brake.

Muzzle Brakes | Georgia Gun Works

The world famous Terminator muzzle brakes that you have seen on YouTube from New Zealand are finally available in the USA. These were specially produced for long range & large caliber applications. Cerakote If you have not tried them yet – this is a must for your next buy.

This is what I use. The T5 Model.
Very effective.
A shooting buddy has the same rifle as you. His shoots pretty well and you should be able to enjoy it for the distances it's capable of there in Texas.

I use an APA Fat Bastard - it's very effective; much better than the the tank baffle that came standard on the RPR.

Just a humorous, but important, aside. My 338 Lapua Mag (a 110 BA Savage) came new with a muzzle break installed. For something that is basically a shoulder fired cannon, the muzzle break works great - recoil is about the same as a somewhat heavy (9 pound) 308. However, this is far and away the loudest firearm in my collection; insert quality earplugs, then put on your best sound muffs too. Always use double sound protection with a 338 LM that has a muzzle break.

Terminator will put a smile on your face the 1st time you pull the trigger.....

Generally the least costly of all the brakes I have purchased and, IMO, the most effective.
I have three of his. On my 338 Edge, I have a five port, it is much quieter and with less recoil than the Savage 110 BA 338LM w/ tanker brake, even though my Edge rifle, 12# w/ glass, is 5 lbs lighter than the Savage was.
It wasn't until I started shooting the edge with the MBM brake that I realized how inconsiderate it was of me to shoot the 110 BA in an enclosed range building.

I too have one of Nathan's side port brakes and it really does a great job of taming the recoil of my 6.5 SAUM. Allows me to see and hear the steel clang which is most of the fun!

I also have a MBM 5-port on my 338. It tames it very well and makes it a joy to shoot.

Pretty good looking Savage.
I think I would just get a tuner break from Eric Cortana

Funny you say that Martyj, I own 2 tuners from him for my benchrest rifles one for a 30BR, that shoots lights out, the other is a varmint .223 & we both live in South Texas. Have you been watching he’s Black Jack Series? He has some great products…
