I put an American Precision Arms Little B* on a custom 7mm. I did lots of research and relied on the some great research and field tests that showed the APA was pretty much the best overall break. It you want to correct muzzle jump specifically JEC Customs was the best for that. It was my #2 pick.

I built mine on a Defiance deviant hunter action. They have been a top choice of shooters in the PRS for years. It took almost 6 months to get it from the time I ordered it so keep that in mind. If I didn't go with Defiance, my next choice was Surgeon.
