[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1380234"] If you are hunting without hearing protection, you might reconsider. The over all noise is the same. The direction of the noise is altered. In ear electronic hearing protections is my preferred solution. I have one or a very similar rifle for each. All Mark V Weatherby. I've spent plenty of time behind an unbraked 270 Weatherby at the bench. It was a 1957 German made lightweight not a modern one, a little heavier. The bench is the worse position for perceived recoil. 270 Wby Lightweight: Hunting, not an issue because you will be taking one to 3 shots. At the bench, get your sight in done and go on to shoot something else. 340 Wby 12lb: Hunting, well I would not want to carry it up a mountain for sheep or goats but I would be very comfortable on the bench for extended range time. Prone would be more comfortable. 300 RUM 12lb: Hunting same. Bench because of the concussion, not fun. Prone, I'm good for about 20 rounds, with a brake and good ear protection, 50 or even more rounds. [/QUOTE]
