THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Like the title asks..... What brake would you get for your 50bmg bolt action?


I'm building a 50bmg and I have acquired a 29" bbl. and looking for a brake to attach to it.


Which would you reccomend?

Ar-50 brake only !

I have 1 for my next build with a 35" Federsen barrel on a State Arms action.

K&P makes a nice one IF you are willing to wait for two years to get it.

It would depend on the intent of the gun for me.
The AR-50 brake does work the best, but it is big and heavy.

On a "tacticle" style gun I'd go with a shark gill style brake.
A shark gill brake has got to be about half the weight.
-It's not as effective as the AR brake, but still really good.

What are you building?

Honestly bud I don't know yet..... I've been researching like crazy since I received the barrel, I need to find an action with bolt and have it threaded on both ends to install. I'm going to treat this like I would my surgeon action 308, which I might purchase a surgeon but geez, they are even more crazy expensive than most fully built AR50's......

Any actions you guys reccomend?
