[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1898556, member: 2736"] Some rifles need a brake and some don't. With some, It is the weight and potency of the cartridge. With others it is the design of the rifles. Just like pistols, some rifles recoil differently even if they weigh the same and shoot the same cartridge. I have installed lots of brakes on AR 15's in 223 to assist the shooter to stay on target and make follow up shots easier. I have manage to reduce the actual recoil to 1.1 to 1.5 ft/lbs from 4 to 5 ft/lbs on most AR 15's, and the owners rave about the control of the rifle for multiple targets (Game). Recoil is not the issue here, but being able to maintain site of multiple targets while shooting is the goal. I have some big bores that could definitely use a brake, but no more than you shoot them and the number of follow up shot's is normally zero, a brake is not necessary but would be nice if allowed. So brakes are an individual decision, and should be based on the shooters requirements and the rifles needs. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
