Browning 001293098 Xeno Recoil Hawg Stainless 1/2"X28 Threads
The Browning Xeno Recoil Hawg is a stainless steel muzzle brake built specifically for shooters running suppressors on the Dead Air Silencers Xeno mounting system. If you're tired of fighting recoil and muzzle rise—especially on centerfire rifles—this brake channels gas away from your face and shoulders, reducing felt recoil by up to 70% depending on your caliber. That means less shoulder punishment, steadier sight picture, and fewer missed shots due to flinch or fatigue.
The Xeno Recoil Hawg threads directly onto 1/2"x28 muzzle threads and pairs with most Hub-compatible suppressors when you add a Xeno adaptor (sold separately). The multi-port design does the heavy lifting: gases vent to the sides rather than backward, cutting muzzle rise and keeping your point of impact consistent shot to shot. A shim kit is included so you can dial in perfect port alignment for your specific setup.
Built from all-steel construction and finished in stainless, this brake handles serious use without flinching. It's made for hunters chasing accuracy and precision shooters who demand a stable platform, whether you're shooting suppressed or not. The Xeno system's quick-disconnect design means you can swap suppressors without removing the brake—a real advantage if you run multiple cans across your battery.
