[QUOTE="MagnumPW, post: 1449759, member: 102234"] I installed a Brownells muzzle brake on my mod 700 bdl in .30-06. I also thought about a recoil pad, but after I put on the brake, it wasn't necessary. I also installed the same brake on my Brother's mod 70 .300 win mag. Now he can em shoot up at the range without the pain. Also his daughter can handle it no problem. As for hunting with it attached, it works great! There's very little muzzle jump so I can stay on target and follow thru for a backup shot is awesome! I've also that noticed last season I took a nice Buck that was with a couple of Doe's. I was able to take the Buck and a Doe at 150yrds. I think because of the redirected muzzle blast, these deers had trouble figuring out the direction my shot came from. The Buck took 3 steps after I drilled a huge hole thru the heart. The Doe's both were startled and alert but froze long enough for me to fill my 2nd tag. I'd of had all 3 if I had another tag. With the muzzle blast redirected sideways and up through the top (that keeps the muzzle jump down) these deers were alert but confused about which direction to run? The woods are fairly thick too. That helped to absorb the noise. My Brother had a similar experience shooting across a hay field out in the open. So, putting a muzzle brake on a sporting barrel to hunt with was one of my more better ideas. It's relatively simple to do at home with a couple of inexpensive tools. If you're interested?
