    Right that’s what I was asking does it matter what break I use.

    What is the diameter of your barrel? I have 2 rifles with brakes installed on them. One is the Fat Bastard Gen 1 it is big and draws a lot of attention but also extreamly effective. The other is made by Kimber specifically for the narrow barrels on their mountain rifle.

    Depending on the thread and barrel size will dictate what brake you can install. If the brake is larger than OD of your barrel a good machinist can taper it to match.

    A brake with ports in an equal radius all the way around will not need to be timed and will be the easiest to install.

    Vias makes a good one for sporting rifles the Fat Bastard is closer to a tactical type of brake. It has no ports on the bottom to prevent dust clouds when shooting prone.

    What model and brand is your rifle?

    It is a tc compass in 300 wm. So barrel is quite small. Thanks for the help. Thread is a 5/8x24.
