[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1899868, member: 78569"] I have a 338 NM with a brake on it and its great to shoot. Can spot shoots very well. When prone on bipod, the animal never leaves my sight picture. Its very important to be centered on the gun to avoid sideways movement. That's a shooting skill for sure. After hunting with that rifle for a few years, I've noticed that having a brake on it and stalking an animal that may require a quick shot is difficult. I use the type of pear plugs that are plastic and look like barbs as they get an instant seal vs. foam ones. However, I still have to futz around with getting them in and then swinging a 12 lb gun up. I don't like it. I'm looking to get a 338 suppressor for it so i don't have to don't have to worry about destroying me ears in a situation like that. A long range gun is great in a long range situation, but hunting often requires a more close up a approach. Although as one pointed out, a set of electronic ear plugs are cheaper than a suppressor. Pros and cons I guess. [/QUOTE]
