Brake for .308??

Have you tried 155s? They also reduce recoil.

No but I will..

If felt recoil is your only issue, get a Limbsaver pad. Made a big difference in my 12 gauge shooting 3" magnum slugs.

Love their stuff , have many pads both slip on and custom... The factory pad on this rifle is excellent you can shoot it all day..

Was thinking more on the lines of keeping it from jumping once I finish my load for it and go from the bench rest to the bipod.. Its not a bench rest gun its a tactical rifle.

I just sent the bipod back to Harris for some adjustments so I have time to finish the load development for it useing my rest.. I bought it threaded hopeing they lift the restrictions on suppressors..

Take a look at this article if you haven't seen it.

In my opinion, a decent brake should have 3-4 ports on each side and a couple on top to prevent muzzle rise. Ones designed like this one on one of my AR15's usually work well. This one is a cheapie $25 no-name I found on eBay but does a good job, no muzzle rise, it pushes straight back. I've known 3 people that got the Witt brakes for .308's and all loved them.

PA M4-72 brake will be here Saturday for my SOLGW 308. Will report back. FWIW, I just installed an SJC Titan on one of my 223's, VERY flat shooting, like, well, FLAT. The SJC vid by Erik shows their 308 comp to be very effective. http://stores.sjcguns.com/lund-sjc-308-titan-compensator/ I may go with one of these on my bolt gun.

I not pushing anything but for anyone interested, Witt has a 25% off coupon through July 6th. The code is (ID25).

Harrell's Tactical brakes. $40 work great and you have $100 or more left to spend on other stuff.

What brake do you recommend for a .308 rifle?? Preferably not a huge one like on a .50 cal... Brake is for a savage 10t that I am playing with and has shown superb accuracy. Now I would like to take a little kick out of it..

Thanks in advance...

harrels brakes don't cost much but work great. I have them on all my guns!

Your accuracy will probably change for the worse with a brake deflecting gas onto the bullet going through it. You'll need extra hearing protection with brakes.

Add weight to the rifle to reduce recoil.

I've never had a rifle that had diminished accuracy after adding a muzzle brake.
But to be fair, some muzzle brakes could easily affect accuracy negatively if they're not top notch concentric.

Best muzzle brake I have is a Kahntrol Solutions Clamp-on brake on a non-threaded barrel.
It reduces the recoil better than any other brake I have/had.
But at the same time it gives the biggest concussion blast. There is no free lunch.

Britt Jones will make you a very nice brake. I had been using APA Lil Bastard brakes but tried one of Britt's on a rifle he just built me. Works fantastic and not quite as loud as the Lil Bastard.
