[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 708547, member: 47325"] No noise isn't a factor for the shooter, but for the person next to a braked rifle it ****es you off in short order. I bout wrapped a 300WBY around a guys neck because he blew the water out of my eye, and wouldn't stop until I told him I was gonna beat him with his own rifle. Thing was the guy shows up after I was already there and sets up 2 benches over to my left (which was the only benches to my left) when he had the whole range to use and 10 in the other direction. That was experience #1, couple of weeks ago a guy had gotten his girl a 270WSM, it was braked but since I showed up after them and set up as far as I could from them, I waited till she wasn't shooting then I shot, in spite of that it was still annoying as hell. if braking things are your deal great but keep in mind when there's others around that it ain't so great. I'm not saying don't brake a rifle, I don't see any need at all to brake a 270 though when for a lesser cost you can get a better designed stock with a real good recoil pad and make a pup out of it. I am pointing out though that there are effect that come with a muzzle brake that it's seems precious few ever think of till the damage is done. And coming from a guy that's been on the wrong side of a brake more than once, considering the effect on others would go a long way if you choose to use one on any caliber. [/QUOTE]
