I have a Remington 700 ADL 30-06 it has a normal barrel {not a bull barrel} and i was wondering were i could buy a muzzle break or if its even worth buying one.
I would post a pic but i suck with comps and cant figure it out!!!!

Hi James. Welcome to the forum. Accuracy Systems out of your home state performs brake installs, but the cost will set you back around $200. If you haven't had prior experience with them, the muzzle blast is horrendous for you as well as anyone nearby. If your goal is to tame recoil, look into a quality buttpad.

Thnks man and yes my goal is to reduce the recoil im starting to take long range shots and accuracy for me is gunna be a must!!!!

Yeah, a good butt pad will be much better then a brake.

I am on the other side of the fence with brakes. I am courteous at the range and will not buzz my neighbors. I let them know before I crack one and I will wait and let them go first. I have always plugged and muffed my ears so I have not noticed any difference. For hunting walker game ears help me hear the little things and also muffle the brake.

Now if it was me I would get a SSG brake $150 installed, here are a few pics of mine and some rifles I had done. An yes the recoil reduction is unbelievable!

I was also looking at this muzzle brake http://www.nokick.com/PWS_Precision_Rifle_Comp_5_8x24_threads_p/pws prc 5-fslash-8x24.htm

James, that one may be too big for a sporter weight barrel. The threads are 5/8". The two sporter weight barrels above used 1/2" threads.

You will still need to have your barrel threaded which will cost you a little more and that brake like the ones above will need indexing which will add to the cost a little more too.

The Vais brakes and similar ones do not need indexing but are not as effective as a chamber type brakes and with holes on the bottom will dust you if you are shooting prone.

I have also had expierence with the Holland brake as well and it can be purchased and installed for $200 with them. They are very effective too. This is a 30-06 with sporter (regular) barrel. On the bench the legs of the bipod will not rise off the bench even f you do not hold the forearm.

Nathan is a good man but he has a wait list of about 3 months as with most good smiths. He can sell you the brake for about $100 if you have a smith that can thread your barrel and install it.

I am sending him another rifle in a week or two.
