.308 Muzzle Brake

[haoleboy]

What is a good muzzle brake for the Rem 700P in .308? Troy? LaRue? JP?

Any help is appreciated.

No clue.
I've never needed a muzzlebrake for .308.

A good friend had a "KDF" muzzlebrake put on his Remington 700 BDL in '06, and it feels like a .223 when shooting Winchester 165 gr hunting ammo!!!!

are you planning on any sort of qd mount for a suppressor?

because a suppressor is the best muzzle brake for any caliber.

otherwise, go with whatever looks nicest to you. functionally, the average shooter isn't going to be able to tell much difference (if any) between most brakes on the market at the moment, given a non-magnum caliber.

Griffin makes a nice 7.62 comp. Spikes has a dynacomp for 7.62 as well.

I've used both successfully on my Savage Hog Hunter's. Recoil is non-existent, but more importantly there is no appreciable muzzle rise. It feels like you are glued to the target.

No, I wasn't planning on that. However, do the QD brakes work as well as the standard ones?

Since the Griffin and Spikes are very similar in design, do they work as well as this design? Better or worse?

I have the JP Tactical on my 308 REPR and it is very close to the Ben Cooley design and works so good that the first time I shot my REPR I had to look at the rifle to make sure that I had my 308 in my hands!

I use a PWS brake on my .300 WinMag because it doubles as a flash suppressor. Works great on both fronts!

I just snagged a YHM phantom 7.62 brake (yes, brake, not the flash hider) with the provision for their QD suppressor for my 700.

I didn't wanna post anything about it till after I made the purchase just to ensure they still had some in stock when I went to buy it, because holy hell that thing is hard to find.

I have zero experience with the pictured brake, so I don't know. Sorry bro.

Would you guys avoid a 20MOA base if you didn't think you'd ever shoot over 500 yards?

Why not do it? As long as you zero at 100 yards in case you hunt there is zero problem with it IMO.

Hell, I put a 25moa base on my 17hmr. Now that I think about it, I only own 1 rifle with a zero MOA base.

Juggernaut tactical "juggerbreak"

thing is awesome.

This I run 20 moa base on my all my bolt 308s keep a 100yd zero and with a 10x leupold m-1 mark 4 have adjustment out to 1100yds. As far as the brake if you are running a 24" or more barrel have you considered having a good smith make you a custom threaded brake with your barrel?

Btw I love the 700 pss also, I used one in sniper school anc it was a tack driver.

Bennie Coolie breaks are nice... I like the PWS break on my SCAR 17.

Ok, now how do you measure what height scope rings you need?

Take the diameter of the objective lens, halve it, add a couple of mm's, and there you go.

If that is true and that simple . You just answered a question for me and many of my friends that I did not have a specific answer for .
