[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 293895, member: 4885"] I think your sound deflector will drastrically reduce the efficiency of any brake you have, as the gases will be redirected forward. I've had one rifle with barrel porting (Magna-port) and even though it did reduce recoil (7mm Rem Mag), it made the barrel more handload sensitive (more picky to small changes in reloads). A screw on muzzle brake that can be removed and replaced with a thread protector when you have no ear protection would be my choice. When I hunt with a braked rifle, I use electronic muffs so I can hear whats going on around me, but still be protected. AJ [/QUOTE]
