[QUOTE="Kerry Knudsen, post: 4517, member: 833"] I bought a Browning A-Bolt Stalker last year in .338 Win. Mag. My big concern was the kick, since that's a big topic of conversation. I had a gunsmith install a Pachmyer Decellerator pad, and decided to wait on the muzzle brake for the reasons already stated: I like what's left of my hearing. I found that I can shoot the gun very well without the brake, so I never installed it. It is nothing for me to shoot 30 rounds at the range, and I'm using 250 gr. Sierra Game Kings for now. That said, a friend wanted to shoot it, shot it once and says he'll never shoot it again. I'm not sure if it's just me, if he held it wrong or what, but it seems to be a function of the person and the rifle. I won't say it doesn't kick, but it certainly doesn't hurt me, and it doesn't make me flinch. I only stop at 30 rounds because of cost or time. My recommendation would be to install a Decellerator and see. Then add a brake if it's necessary. kk [/QUOTE]
