[QUOTE="19elkhunter51, post: 1454898, member: 14169"] Being long in the tooth and having started shooting at very young age, before anyone realized or recognized the amount of hearing loss at the first unprotected shot, I have tinnitus and a loss of hearing. I have never been recoil sensitive and never thought I would use a brake. I was well aware of the problem when I purchased a custom 338 Edge with a proprietary brake. The brake works like a million bucks and I am unable to hear the difference between this rifle and others that are not so equipped. People to the side of me take the brunt of the noise. I liked the brake on my 338 so well that I had my 300 RUM equipped with the same brake. When I had the same smith build my heavy barreled 22-250 guess what? Yes I did. I put the brake on the rifle. Now I can honestly say that I can see every impact within the limitations of my eyes. Absolutely NO recoil. I have to agree with some of the other people posting. Hearing loss due to firing weapons was a fact of life for shooters long before the presence of muzzle brakes. [/QUOTE]
