[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2210193, member: 10755"] Wow, this rifle is a HUNTING rifle we are all concerned with here...it is NOT a bench gun and most likely will not be used in that manner in the field. All one needs is a solution to shooting on the bench to sight in and do load development. Why make it so hard by adding muzzle brakes, mercury recoil reducers and other wiz bang devices? Buy some rubber padding, strap it to your shoulder while shooting off the bench and be done with it. At my club, as of December 2020, brakes have been banned and the max calibre reduced to 8mm. This rules out my use of the 338-416 Rigby Improved 45°, but prior to this ban, that rifle from prone without a brake was like getting hit by a 10lb sledge hammer. Do what you can simply, no need to go to extremes to sight in and shoot a few groups with factory ammo. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
