The Christensen Arms Side-Baffle muzzle brake transforms heavy-recoiling 338 caliber rifles into manageable precision instruments. This natural titanium brake redirects gases through strategically positioned side ports to dramatically reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise during rapid fire sequences.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional radial-port brakes that blast concussion in all directions, the side-baffle design channels gases laterally while protecting the shooter from excessive blast pressure. The natural titanium construction weighs 40% less than steel alternatives while maintaining structural integrity under extreme pressures. Each baffle chamber is precision-machined to optimize gas flow dynamics for maximum recoil reduction without compromising accuracy.
Key Features
- Natural titanium construction for superior strength-to-weight ratio
- 5/8"-24 TPI threading fits most 338 caliber precision rifles
- Side-baffle design reduces recoil up to 60% over bare muzzle
- 0.920" diameter profile matches heavy bull barrel contours
- Precision-machined internal chambers optimize gas redirection
- Corrosion-resistant finish withstands harsh field conditions
- Self-timing design eliminates need for crush washers or shims
Long-range shooters benefit from reduced muzzle jump that keeps targets in scope view for faster follow-up shots. The titanium construction handles the thermal stress of rapid-fire strings without point-of-impact shifts common with heavier steel brakes. Hunters appreciate the significant recoil reduction that enables better shot placement on large game without the punishing recoil that causes flinching.
