The gunsmith Rob De Vries makes brakes. How good they are I have no idea.

Graham Spraggon in Sydney was importing, an as far as I know still does, the Answer brake and fits them.

Alternatively go to Brownells website and they have heaps of different muzzle brakes. However an export licence is required but they organise that as a mate of mine just got a brake from them but it took some time. From memory it was about 4 months or so.

The brake that is often regarded as the best combination of recoil reduction and noise is the Vais. The Vais is used on the Lazzeroni rifles.

The various brakes that only have the holes on the sides as opposed to all the way around the brake will be more expensive to fit because the brake has to line up with the holes pointed out to sides. With the brake with holes evenly spaced all the way around it does not matter.

If you go to the site www.longrangehunting.com and then a few forums down is one for beginners and basics and there is a big muzzle brake thread running there at the moment. I think it is still on the first page.

This place makes good gear and if you scroll down you will see their brakes that have holes is the side. The plus with these people are they are in Canada and no export licence is required. I suspect their brake will be good because you will see a lot of Weatherby type activity and they would be replacing the Wby brake that comes on 30/378 and up because they will supply them already threaded for the Wbys
