With a coupon code it's $23.35. Two months ago after searching quite a while for a muzzlebrake for my 350 I found one at Straight Shooters for $39 and ordered it. It's very good but at $39 it's no bargain. Now PA has this one and it will supposedly fit the 350 and it has 2 set screws. The brake from Straight Shooters only has 1. The thing I do like about the Straight Shooters brake is that it comes with 2 sleeves just like the Beeman Universal brake that I have on my 34 Panther. This prevents the screw from leaving a mark on the barrel in case I ever decide to reinstall the front sight.

 What do you think about the beeman break compared to the rws? Is your beeman the new lightweight aluminum model or the older heavy one? Does it really mount solid enough to use as the cocking handle? Sorry for all the question.. J

This is the Beeman brake that is on my 34 Panther

On the PA site it is listed as discontinued. I thought it would fit the tactical style of the Panther and it was really the only one I could find at the time that would fit at all. For my 350 I wanted a smooth brake. Both brakes are aluminum. Beeman now has at least a couple of brakes but you have to be careful to make sure it will fit your particular rifle. And yes, both of these brakes make excellent cocking handles, especially the Beeman Universal because of the ridges. Just make sure to install it correctly. Also, if I ever get another RWS rifle I will definately try the one that is the subject of this post.

 Thats the heavy model, my local gunshop has a new model in aluminum with holes all over it, it's a beeman universal, extremely light, only $26.00 and i wasn't sure if it was sturdy enough. Guess it probably is. I'll probably try it. Thanks G

All 3 models I mentioned, the RWS from PA, the one from Straight Shooters, and the Beeman Universal are made out of aluminum.

 I think the brand new one is different. Instead of the cast or machined aluminum it is like 16ga. aluminum sheet w/ a bunch of holes drilled in it, wrapped into a tube. It couldn't weigh more than a few oz.  It also had a 2 shim setup. I think i'm going to get it and see how it does. I'll post what i find.  Jeff


 Update: Guess i was seeing things or someone hid the oddball but i guess i was just plain mistaken. The $26.00 muzzle weight was the old style beeman. One set screw. I bought it and put it on my tf58. Looks good and fits tight. Covers up the butcher job i did on the barrel to
