[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1302024, member: 1656"] Whether the effect is due to increased due to increased Db or concussion or something else is academic. The FACT of the matter is, a braked rifle is harder on the person behind it than one not braked. I've pulled the trigger on many unbraked rifles of a certain caliber without hearing protection without issue, then made the mistake of forgetting hearing protection with a braked version of the same round/barrel length, and the difference is NOT insignificant. I care little if a Db meter says they are the same, they are not. Regarding brakes, look into the Heathen. Mine is a self-install not contoured, hand-timed, which is what I wanted. But what I liked as the rear ports are perpendicular to the bore, with the idea that they divert the blast of the front ports further to the side of the shooter. I can't speak from experience as the gun meant to wear it is not complete yet. [/QUOTE]
