Ross muzzle brakes

[millerkiller77]

Any of you familiar with Ross muzzle brakes? I have a local gunsmith working on a Tikka and he's recommending the Ross brakes. Any feedback would be appreciated.

No reviews just make sure he doesn’t locktite it on there and makes a cap. That what when you change your mind you don’t have to go back.

I've never heard of a Ross brake, but I do have KDF brakes on my .375 RUM and .300 Weatherby. I've taken each of those rifles on at least 3 international hunts and have shot hundreds of rounds through each of them. The .375 RUM had maybe 10 shots through it before I had the brake installed, and I've never shot a round through my .300 Wby without it's brake.

As far as I'm concerned those brakes could be locktited or welded on, and I don't have any caps.

I don’t think they can be beat for the price. Pretty typical side port muzzle brake. I’d go for it

My thoughts also, the porting looks the same as an APA. I ordered one up and will post side by side pics and a range report.

Big difference from the dude who braked his 223 only to get his butt kicked on his first range day. OP never said a caliber so when in doubt whip the caution statement out.

I must have missed something..lol . Who put a brake on a .223?

This particular one is going on a 300wsm

I have bought one from ross for my savage ultralight in 300 WSM. Very happy with it.

Every AR15 owner, especially if the bench next to me at the range is open.

I don't understand how he's doing them so inexpensively. I haven't seen any up close. I know they've got raving reviews though.

One arrived today. You definitely get what you pay for, I'm not a machinist but this isn't my first rodeo either. The center bore looks like it was cut with a tap, or fed too fast with a dull cutter and it's not concentric.
Crappy cell phone pics, but still....... I'd really like to hear back from some of you with more experience than me. I can't put this on my barrel.

I prefer the brakes by Nathan at Muzzlebrakes and more. His beast brakes are impressive.

Check out Salmon River Solutions.
There's always APA.

I've shot Allen Precision rifles with his Painkiller brakes. Extremely effective. mtmuley
