[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 79432, member: 4491"] Fifty, i'm certainly not gonna call you a crazy loon,but i am gonna disagree with you.you use the term recoil energy.i'm not sure what that means but i think you're trying to explain primary recoil.that is simply the bullet accellerating from zero fps to whatever.this accounts for maybe 5% of the felt recoil.secondary recoil is when the bullet exits the barrel and now you have 15K or whatever the pressure is on the inside pushing on the bolt.a brake is simply an extention of the barrel to "bleed off" the pressure from inside the barrel over a longer period of time so the felt recoil is less because much less pressure is pushing against the bolt.the escaping gases pushing against the diaphrams of the brake simply lessen the push against the bolt even more.in a nutshell, i simply do not believe that a scope has anywhere near the same amount of "felt recoil" with or without a brake! it's much less with a brake on.
