[QUOTE="north of 53, post: 774248, member: 8510"] Well at 12lb I am thinking this is not a carry gun, and that is a good thing if you are going to put a brake on it because as mentioned by AZshooter it can be hard on ears. I can tell you from experiences that it does help spot your shot at long range. I have a 22-250 A.I that has a brake for just that reason and it lets me see where I am hitting, but it also means that when I shoot it I get set up and put on the muffs. I had a thread protector made at the same time as I had the brake put on so I can take it off if I am going to carry this gun and not want to have to walk around with muffs on. If you remove the brake your point of impact can change so be sure you check and don't assume you can just switch back and forth without taking this into consideration. Having said all this you may find that at 12 lbs you do not even need a brake to be able to spot your shot, I would wait and see. My 22-250 A.I. is not that heavy it was built on standard REM 788 and I could hold it on with lighter bullets but with 80gr bullets it was just frustrating to try and see snow fly when shooting at something way out there, with the brake on it the gun just sits there and stays right on target. P.S> if you put a brake on it be considerate when you take it to a range with other shooters around. [/QUOTE]
