[QUOTE="pony doctor, post: 1449758, member: 82040"] I use muzzle brakes on every large bore rifle I have. In my book they are a MUST HAVE item. I even use ported barrels on my shotguns! Brakes reduce recoil significantly but they are louder. Wear ear protection! They will improve your accuracy because you do not experience the recoil vs the unbraked rifle. They do not improve the rifle's accuracy, but they do improve the shooter's ability! Really want to see improved accuracy, go to a suppressor! Same reasoning. Be careful about shooting across the hood of your truck, brakes will blister the paint, and keep all spectators behind the rifles to further protect their ears. If shooting prone, and your brake has ventral ports, you will need a tarp or ?? to minimize the dust storm. [/QUOTE]
