[QUOTE="pods8, post: 1094417, member: 83233"] Depends on the shooter's preference I'd think. I have a 280AI due any day here so haven't yet shot it but theoretically it will recoil a bit less than my 30-06 of similar weight. With a decent recoil pad I don't personally NEED a brake on a 30-06 hunting weight rifle to shoot a few dozen rounds in a range session. If I was shooting 30+ or something I have a feeling I'd start getting fatigued with an 8lb gun. Now if we're talking a 12lb gun then that knocks down the recoil substantially so something I could shoot all day not problem. I'm sure for target work and watching bullet flight it would be nice but I'm not going to hunt with it on so I don't practice with it. Others have different desires/preferences. [/QUOTE]
