[QUOTE="captacademy, post: 722485, member: 7159"] I have to agree with several of the experienced guys here that posted that the muzzle break just makes for a more enjoyable and accurate shooting! I have been shooting unbreaked rifles all my life, from 12 ga 3'' Shotguns loads to a 338-378 wby and 416 Rem Mag, these kick!!! I am by no means recoil shy. Any one that has shot the latter rifles knows what I mean about recoil! I also shoot tactical rifle competition with a 308 and 260. On the competition side, I see more and more shooter showing up with breaks and suppressors. They are chasing accuracy and quick repeatable, accurate shots. I too have switched over to breaks and supressors and have found that my accuracy has greatly increased, especially for follow up shots on additional targets. I use the Peltor electronic hearing muffs in comp, they work great. On the long range shooting, the break allows me to spot my shots and send a second corrected one if I miss judged the distance/wind or need a finishing shot. I was one of those guys that really disliked breaks because of the noise, however, my big rifles would jump so much, it was not as fast getting back on target, especially on dangerous game! My 416 Rem Mag still does not have a muzzle break for the trackers and PH, but I did install a mercury reducer in the stock. Now, I just make it a point to always have hearing protection with me from Africa to the Artic circle. I use the hearing protection that has an orange neck plactic neck band so they are always within quick reach for hunting. My belief, do what works best for you, this just happends to work best for the shooting that I do. Just my two cents! [/QUOTE]
