Gun and gear reviews Muzzle brakes

I have a Bergara b14 hunter 7mm rem mag, it came with a omni brake on it. I don’t feel the recoil is that bad but out of curiosity I’m wondering if people have used other muzzle brakes.

Are they worth the money ?

Do they help recoil that much better?

Does changing a muzzle brake affect accuracy at all?

Is radial , side ports or a hybrid of both best?

Would like to know peoples experiences and thoughts on it

Thanks

Yes.

Yes, 360 brakes imo are gun manufacturers are using the easiest and cheapest method so they can sell you an extra. Radials don't need to be timed so they just thread them on and call it a day.

Does changing a muzzle brake affect accuracy at all?

It can, but its more of a POI shift that you just may have to re-zero for.

Is radial , side ports or a hybrid of both best?

The best brakes are the ones that vent @ the 3,9,12 oclock positions or @ least the 3 & 9.
