[QUOTE="DRock, post: 1906620, member: 109187"] Lots of discussion on muzzle breaks. While a good break can make a magnum recoil like a .243 win, there are negatives about them also. If you are not familiar with muzzle breaks, just make sure you are aware of the added risks to your hearing and those around you. GOOD hearing protection is a must- even when hunting. ( I have hearing damage from hunting with a break when a buck surprised me and I didn't have time to put my protection on before I fired a couple rounds). Suppressors will also take away the recoil but reduce the muzzle blast significantly. I am not a fan of muzzle breaks except at the range or where I cannot hunt with a suppressor. (I am going to BC for moose this fall and cannot take a suppressor so I am taking a braked magnum and invested in hearing protection that goes inside my ear canal. This way I can put it in all day and not have to worry about getting it on before shooting.) Just make sure you look at the pros and cons before making a decision there. [/QUOTE]
