    Default Recommend me a brake

    I currently run the stock savage brake on my LR rig. I had planned to do a QD suppressor but that ideas funding has been reallocated. I am looking to get a better brake though. I am getting more rise out of mine than I would like. I was looking at the JP brake. Anyone have any advice or brands to look into? I apologize in advance to my fellow Raton and Pueblo shooters...

    This is my current setup


    JP?

    Add 2-3 gas ports at the 12:00 position on your current brake???

    Why not just get the TBAC CB brake, and a thread protector, that way when you have the money for the can, you already have the brake. It sounded like it performed just as well as the JP brakes on Stew's guns.

    Good idea about the TBAC , I'll look into it as well. Little more expensive than the JP. No gas ports on the top though? I'd rather not drill mine ... Doesn't look like a lot of metal left in that area already to play with. Does the TBAC come with thread protector or is that extra too?

    Thread Protector is extra

    It doesn't need gas ports on top, the side ports are open more above than below for the same effect. You can't see it in the picture, but you can in person. Mine works fine in keeping the barrel down, while I wait for my suppressor to get out of jail.

    I had an OPS Inc. brake (the non-suppressor one) on my .300WM. It had less felt recoil than my buddie's .308 with no muzzle device on it.
