[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 738134, member: 30902"] The value of the braks on seeing your hits and misses for followups cannot be overstressed. I shot my new 300wm which is a pretty light rig M70 All weather SF and I was running some hot 180's through it and I had to ask my spotter where each of the impacts were because I could not see them. I'd already decided it would get a brake, but that really reminded me of the necessity. I was also shooting my 7mmSTW which is braked with some pretty well smoking 160gr loads and I could see my impacts all the way from 100yds to 800yds. If you are alone and shooting at game in brush/trees it is absolutely essential you see your actual hits or you'll end up wasting game or a hell of a lot of time tracking misses. In the long range game in lots of the better places we hunt out west, it can take half a day just to get to where your target was standing from your shooting position! [/QUOTE]
