Savage 10 TR muzzle brake

Check out True North Arms, they have a nice selection of reasonably priced muzzle devices.

Also, $7 shipping.

I just bought a Maple Ridge Armoury Rock Solid Muzzle Brake for my 10 TR, it was under $100.
 
Maybe someone can school me on this, but I think the reason the brake I purchased doesn't seem to have much effect is because it is/was designed for a gas gun...AR10 etc. Is there a difference between a brake designed primarily for a .308 gas gun and a brake designed for a .308 bolt gun?

Thanks for the correction. I have deleted that part.

Not to confuse anyone, but just to be clear and correct -- all Matador Arms products are made right in Canada. Well, except the Folding Vector Adapter, which was made in the USA. So, your Hammerhead brake was most definitely made in Canada!

What brake is it?
They should perform similar on either type of rifle firing the same load. The main effectiveness of a brake is how tight to the bore diameter the brake is bored out, and how much surface area there is to redirect gas.
Other factors like barrel length and how "hot" the load is can also come into play a bit.
For a bolt gun shooting off a bench, I stay away from anything with top ports as it tends to introduce unwanted forces. Just side ports, bored as tight to the bore as possible.

The most effective brake I've used so far is the Badger Thruster

It does require gunsmith installation as it needs to be bored out, also comes in SS only so ceracote or other durable finish might be needed depending on your preference.
Have one on a 7mm mag and hot loads are like shooting a 243. Also have one on a Savage HS in .308 and it's very mild shooting.
 
+1 on the Coretac, but it was about 330 dollars. Well worth it. the reduction in recoil is fantastic.
