Thread: Type of muzzle brake is best

Looking for a muzzle brake for my rifle a sako Roughtech rem 7mag 18-1 thread been looking at the ''Terminator t3'' and the ''Grizzly'' my preference is the terminator but I want to fit it myself and was wondering if they come with a lock nut so as to time it due to an old shoulder injury I am forced to put a brake on the rifle because i'm not going to stop shooting but would like a little less recoil if possible I know noise is a factor with brakes but won't affect me as my wife and I use ear protection at all times so a little help from the forum will help me decide which brake to buy in the end Cheers

Terminator T2 would do the job very nicely. Have several T2’s on light weight magnums and really rate them.

Terminator, Terminator, Terminator!

The new TU with self install locking nut comes in M17 & 18x1 thread will be perfect for your rifle, coated black as well

Dont fuck around, just get a terminator

Get a standard T2 or T3, find a lathe and spin a bit off till it’s right.

The terminators are probably the best on the market for recoil reduction but any brake is bloody antisocial so you will be shooting on your own.

I put mine on to go shooting with others so I fit in with everyone else

The TU looks the same, just 1mm bigger in diameter than the TT brake in the pictures on your thread in the OZ Gun Lobby forum

The nut will go over your 22mm muzzle

Terminator

Just an update I've decided to go with the T3 Terminator and have purchased one from NZ and they were a pleasure to deal with just waiting for the money to arrive and they will send it over to me thanks to those who helped me decide which one to get and thanks for the info much appreciated

Another vote for the Terminator. I changed to a T4 from another brand and rifle went from pushing me backwards and bruising me to a joy to shoot
