Dead Air DA154 XEMAX Muzzle Brake M18X1.5 Black 338 Lapua Mag

The Dead Air DA154 XEMAX Muzzle Brake delivers exceptional recoil reduction for high-powered 338 Lapua Magnum rifles. This precision-engineered brake significantly reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise, enabling faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy during extended shooting sessions.

What Makes This Different

The XEMAX brake features Dead Air's proprietary port geometry that redirects gases at optimal angles for maximum recoil reduction. Unlike standard linear compensators, this brake reduces felt recoil by up to 65% while maintaining minimal blast redirection toward the shooter. The M18x1.5 threading ensures secure attachment to European and precision rifle platforms chambered in 338 Lapua Magnum.
