I’m looking at getting a different muzzle break for my CA Ridgeline. I’m wanting a side port muzzle break. I’m think self timed as well or a lock washer. Which one would you recommend? The ones I’m looking at are the CA Slayer, Area 419 Hellfire or the APA Little Bastard.

No experience with the Slayer, but I’ve owned the other two. Little Bastard was most effective in recoil management, but the least enjoyable (loudest) to shoot, at least for me. Hellfire is great. I’d also look at the Insite Arms Heathen. That’s my go-to brake these days.

They do, while not cheap it is super effective. Watch the you tube videos, they have a great video on their performance.

No I haven't. How do they compare to the others i mentioned.

I don't have first hand experience with the other brakes you're looking at, but I put one of Nathan's Titanium Beast 2-piece brakes (with four ports) on my 7RM Tikka and it recoils like a baby punch now. Absolutely love it.

Nathan’s brakes are up there too. Make sure you check out his YouTube channel because he also has recoil comparisons just like the terminator guy does.

In any case, I’m currently running Nathan’s brakes mostly, with a slayer on a CA and a APA LB on a tikka. The Nathan’s don’t leave me wanting over the other ones, especially considering the price difference.

The Ti Slayer is my favorite brake for carbon barrels. The APA Micro is my favorite for sporter contour steel barrels.

I may have a brand new 419 Hellfire if your interested though. I have to check.

PVA jetblast here, I have an ultralight(aluminum) on a proof barreled 270wsm and it’s a pussycat. I ordered another backcountry brake (scaled down jet blast) for a 300 win

I've ran the Seekins brake on my AR for a long time and it did a great job. It is loud though, especially if you shoot it under an overhang or indoors.

This is the brake I run on my 28 Nosler and it was a night and day improvement over the factory radial brake. If I don't supress the big rifles, they'll get on of these.
