Just curious, why do you want one on a .223? You should be able to see your hits without one...

one because it makes less recoil and i know its not much to start with but i dont like any recoil cause of an accident i had and i can see the target better right after the shot. and im going to be shooting a couple 100 rds at a time. and i will be able to see the bullet vapors, i dont remember what its called.second it just adds looks to it.

The T-3 tactical in .223 with a scope mounted would produce at most 3 ftlbs of recoil.

Butting a muzzle brake on anygun with a scope is bad so I would recomind not putting one on if you have a scope.
