[QUOTE="wilkup, post: 1449805, member: 74276"] My two cents, for what it’s worth... I don’t like ear muffs. I’ve tried all sorts of plugs, but never an electronic set. Muzzle brakes for LR shooting/hunting where there’s surplus time to get setup is a no brainer to me since the added few seconds it takes to add ear protection is negligible. With that said, occasionally even when LR is the hunting style, an animal jumps within easy snap shot range. I’m guilty of taking “that” shot once. My ears rang nonstop for 3 days after it happened! After that I stopped using a muzzle brake on any hunting rifle after that. That ringing scared me enough to accept the extra recoil. 7mm Mag with 180s for extended shooting sessions is my max comfortable recoil level. After that, it becomes unpleasant. [/QUOTE]
