Fox River Brake

[MtnCreek]

Anyone have any exp with the Fox River Brake. Krieger will install on a new barrel for $200. Is that reasonable? Is the lower portion 'non-ported' to allow shooting from a bipod? Are there better brakes available?

Edit: Are there any brakes that work as good as the goofy looking JP's?

Thanks Much!
