[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1423476, member: 10755"] I had a custom 505 Gibbs on a CZ 550 Safari action with a 1lb mercury reducer in the buttstock. This rifle only weighed 9 1/2lbs, the recoil with handloads and 600gr bullets was pretty extreme. I thought the reducer was a waste of time until I pulled the hammer on a cartridge with it removed! It slowed the recoil down considerably. I wouldn’t say it is in the same league as a brake, but it takes the harsh snap out of the recoil. If this rifle was a little heavier I probably would have kept it. A brake may be a better solution, although I have a 375 Weatherby and do not find the recoil excessive or harsh. I am not a fan of brakes personally. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
