I've been testing Braviary recently, and it's such monster in the NU tier. Whether you want to run this thing with a Choice Band or not, it's an undeniable flying powerhouse. Braviary proves it's versatility with more creative sets, but it's true colors shine behind it's raw power and decent base speed I think.
This is why I've been testing the Choice Band set below recently:
Braviary @ Choice Band
Trait: Keen Eye
EVs: 40 HP / 252 Atk / 216 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
Brave Bird
Frustration
U-turn
Superpower
I first saw this set on a Featured RMT, and have used it a couple times with success recently. Braviary has great potential in the current metagame, and I like to see what people can do with it. Once I get the chance to use Braviary more I might come back and leave a few more notes, but it's definitely a force to be reckoned with if you prepare correctly.
As for this set:

I think this is pretty interesting, and I'm definitely gonna throw it in a team sometime soon. The Sharp Beak is what intrigues me the most about this, and I love that it has some bulk along with Braviary's sheer power. I think there's some potential without the Life Orb, especially since you won't miss the extra recoil. I'm just wondering how efficient it will really prove to be, so I may do some comparing with this set.
Overall, it's hard to make Braviary look bad.
