Yes I know the creedmoor has decent recoil but teaching a girl to shoot and thing the muzzle brake will help her with the "fears" of recoil.

What companies are there in Canada where I can find one? Not looking for some stupidly expensive. ;)
 
I have a terminator T1 on a Sako 86 finnlight in 300 WM and is unbeleiable it feels like the rifle is being pulled forward out of your hands, my buddy has them on his 338 edges and loves them. I will be replacing the Holland radail brakes that I have on my other rifles with Terminator brakes, google T2 brakes and watch the videos on YouTube impressive!

You neglected to mention what the gun is and if the barrel is already threaded and if so what the thread and tenon is.
We sell a ton of our AR10 brakes which are threaded 5/8x24 TPI that reduce recoil by 37% and cost a whopping $145.00.

My apologies. Gun is a Tikka T3X with pre threaded barrel

...use the .308 brake because they don't make a 6.5 specific one. It'll work just fine, though.

This does raise a question for me. How can a brake with a greater than .30 calibre effectively redirect gas for a much narrower bullet? Wouldn't all the gas just keep going forward around the bullet in that empty space, would enough gas be redirected to the sides / etc?

Not trying to be a d!ck, really just trying to understand how it works.

I have the same thoughts. Half the companies state that 30 cal muzzle brakes are fine, the other half say that a 30 cal is useless for 6.5

Our research and testing has shown that the 308 brake does work well, HOWEVER we will be producing a 264 cal specific brake in the near future as the larger bore diameter of the 308 brake does reduce the effectiveness to a small degree but it is noticeable in side by side comparisons of the identical brake but with a smaller bore diameter.
With the large number of 6.5 cal rifles we are producing now it would be silly not to provide the optimal brake for the rifles.

I have been using these on my 6.5 Creedmoors and they work very very well. They certainly fit into the "dirt cheap" realm. I don't sell them.

A good brake enhances the "shootability" of most any rifle.
I prefer to use a brake with an unfinished, undersized bore. Set the barrel up in the lathe, thread the muzzle coaxial with the bore, install the brake, then bore for clearance.
 
GSTprecision.ca Offers a nice 3 gill brake, for what a simple muzzle brake should be worth (they were 60$ now they are 75$). I have installed 5-6 of them on various rifles. They work very well. I am sure there are brakes that work a bit better, but I doubt they work 3-4 x better at 250$ plus.

When considering the economics of a rifle, barrel, optics, ammo, targets etc......a quality brake is not a consumable and can be used through several barrels. What is your definition of "works very well"...
 
You also need to consider the extra cost and time associated with gunsmith installation with most brakes.

With a self indexing brake like the Heathen, you literally install it the day you get it in the mail in less than 5 min. No messing with timing shims, rocksett, etc.
