[QUOTE="Gregg C, post: 1362645, member: 103471"] I understand issues w/muzzle brakes, I have always hated them as well. The blast directed to the sides, the loudness of the muzzle report, etc. I don't own an Accubrake equipped rifle, but I had a semi custom built in 338-378 Weatherby. I had a 34in Lilja barrel and was not going to install a brake at all, thinking the rifle would be heavy enough that recoil would not bother me. However after shooting a guy's 30-378 MKV , maybe even accumark, w/Accubrake, I decided, at dang near the last minute, to have the builder install a brake from Darrel Holland. My heavy arsed rifle, with a brake, (one of the more efficient brakes at that) STILL kisses me if I'm not paying attention. I am now a believer in brakes. My rifle is a pleasure to shoot, and I recommend a muzzle brake to anyone who asks. I DON'T like radial brakes, as the blast REALLY kicks up crap in the prone position, and I don't think that the Accubrake is very efficient, as that guy's 30-378 pounded the crap out of me, but I am confident that it was better than NO brake ! Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
