[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 2873608, member: 59541"] I would not port a rifle nowadays as a brake is much better at reducing recoil. You can keep the barrel contour if the brake is machined to the same OD. Whatever brake you choose, don't do a radial as they are horrible when shooting prone. Brakes do increase sound back to the shooter and those to your sides so ear-pro is a must. A suppressor will reduce some recoil but not as much as a brake. Of course it's job is to reduce sound and it does that well. I would say my suppressors reduce about half of the recoil my brakes will. My 28 Nosler with a suppressor feels like a 30-06 where it feels like a 243 with a brake. I would go with some type of QD system. I'm running the Area 419 Hellfire series on most of my rifles which allows me to have a brake on and then switch to a suppressor in about 20 seconds. The Hellfire Match is a much better brake than most of the QD brakes on the market. It's just not as fast as twisting a suppressor over a brake. [/QUOTE]
