Recommended 308 muzzle break?

[pbmaster2k89]

I found a few from researching but i still cant decide. Im looking for a very good 5/8 threaded .308 muzzle break for my savage model 10, i would like to keep it under $100, under $60 would be better. all im trying to do is reduce recoil. If there is something else i could do to reduce recoil a more affective way, please mention it.

thanks, yea i saw this one. the reviews are good but is it really true?

BRAKE, not break.

And under $60 your options are going to be few. I suggest that if you are bothered by the recoil of a .308, you need to either shoot more, or get a smaller caliber.

it doesnt bother me that much, it would just b nice to reduce the recoil is all.

The two most effective breaks I've seen are the Badger FTE and the APA Little Bastard. The advantage to the FTE is that you can remove it without concern to timing, but both should be installed by a qualified gunsmith.

really? why does a gunsmith have to do that?

[long-shot]

Both are directional breaks so if your threads aren't timed properly the ports won't be parallel with the ground. The FTE break gets around this by clamping on the barrel, but the barrel needs to be turned down to allow the break to fit. I'm not a fan of breaks, but if I had one it would be the FTE from Marty. I like that you can remove it to clean the crown.

there seems to b no major difference but if its better than the varmint brake ill get it, if not ill prob get the varmint. it seems to have some pretty good reviews

or maybe i should look into a flash hider/brake combo? i have a brand new flash hider that i havent used yet, might jus sell that.
