[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 316464, member: 10"] I am not and did not say there would not be any recoil reduction. My point was that the more muzzle gas pressure and volume you have, the more drastic the felt recoil reduction will be. I would agree, that the 308 will be tamed to very low recoil levels but a 300 RUM in the same weight rifle, same bullet and same brake would have nearly identical felt recoil as the braked 308 after brake installation on the RUM. The reason, the much larger volume of muzzle gas and higher muzzle pressure. So back to my point, the effectiveness of the brake on a 308 will be much less then that with a 300 RUM. End result may be similiar but recoil reduction from a non braked rifle will be dramatically different. Also, the entire reason I brought up this point was to state that the 308 will not produce enough negative G-forces to hurt any scope which was the answer to your question, just explaining why and giving an example as to what may be much harder on scopes. I am surpised you picked the JP if your main concern is muzzle jump as its not one designed for this type of performance. Its designed for extreme recoil reduction, not muzzle jump control. You would have been better off with a Holland QD or PK brake that are designed specifically to control muzzle jump as well as recoil reduction. The reason the JP will still likely work on the 308 is because of its very limited muzzle jump to start with. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
