ASKING EVERYONE TO CHOOSE WHICH MUZZLE BRAKE YOU WOULD PUT ON A 416 REM MAG RIFLE AND GIVE YOUR REASONING IF POSSIBLE:
( The muzzle brakes are pictured above this post and are threaded with 5/8-24 )
I know the functions for what muzzle brakes do.
Can be used to reduce the muzzle flash and/or to help in reducing the recoil of the gun.
I have seen a few videos of the 416 Rem Mag and other big bore rifles being shot.
The recoil can be like a swift kick from a mule and the pressure blast can stir up enough debris to make ya think a micro storm came through.
Since this rifle isn't for hunting big game in Africa, isn't for hunting big game here in the states, isn't for competition shooting, and isn't for long-distance shooting but is for having fun with friends n family in the backyard and for making some noise in the neighborhood for those people sleeping too long into the late hours of the morning lol
......
........and so so I'm not trying to be critical of obtaining the 'perfect' muzzle brake. My main objective is to balance looks with function ... try to use a muzzle brake that directs a large amount of pressure out the sides of the brake in order to help reduce the recoil, and yet have the brake looking a nicely as possible on the charcoal-colored stock that will have a polished stainless steel barrel.
Since Shaw Custom Barrels wont have my barrel finished for a few weeks, I had posting (before the muzzle brakes) a picture of someone else's Savage 110 with Accustock and stainless barrel to help in picturing each muzzle brake on the gun
and please feel free to post links to other stainless brakes with a 5/8-24 thread
NOTE: I am trying to find muzzle brakes that are made for nothing smaller than .308 - .338 caliber. Many of these muzzle brakes have enough material surrounding the bore that I can drill out the size to what's required for the .416 caliber

This is just a stock photo to use as a basic reference for comparing which muzzle brake to use on it. My gun will have the polished stainless barrel but it actually has a black receiver with jeweled chrome bolt and a black bolt handle.

Get a simple round muzzle brake that is close to barrel diameter. The tactical ones aren’t necessary.
Since you are drilling it out to a larger diameter, start with a brake with small holes. You can enlarge them as well. I don’t like brakes that direct blast back toward me. Find one with holes perpendicular to the bore and the shock wave won’t smack you in the face.
Or one that vents them forward. It may not reduce recoil quite as much but will be much more pleasant in terms of noise and shock wave.
