[QUOTE="budlight, post: 37067, member: 2939"] none of my guns including my .458 have brakes. The best thing you can do for any heavy recoil gun is get a quality synthetic stock. Felt recoil is less than wood benchrest or no drop style with a good recoil pad. My colder weather shooting coat also has the built in shooting pad. You can also buy strap on shooting shoulder pads. I only weigh 170 pounds and go plinking with my .458 The technic of firm shouldering a gun and letting it rock you back is something I learned in late grade school hunting with a lightweight 12 guage. I've never had to make an instant shot on big game. I always put in the ear plugs or muffs. Maybe fold down the bypods. Take a few deep breaths. Think about what I'm doing. Running through bullet drop and wind charts in my mind. Pull a body warmed single bullet out of my shirt pocket if it's cold. [/QUOTE]
