[QUOTE="Daegon, post: 1531338, member: 107595"] Brakes are definitely a plus on a hunting rifle. The recoil reduction from a break on a hunting rifle let’s people enjoy shooting and practically eliminates flinching on a shot. Obviously for lighter calibers it’s not as big of an issue but for the larger calibers and magnums I wouldn’t shoot one without a brake. It lets people be more confident and makes people more accurate. When a rifle is enjoyable to shoot they’ll shoot it more often and in turn usually be a better shot which is always important when harvesting game. I’m a hunter and although I may only get 1 or 2 shots on game that doesn’t mean that’s all I shoot during the year. I’m always tweaking a load or trying new bullets and loads to be as accurate as can be. Also breaks can make a rifle more accurate. They change the vibrations of the barrel and depending on the type of brake make them more consistent for where exactly the bullet leaves the barrel making it more accurate. It tightened up the groups in my 338 RUM shooting 250 grain accubonds but as also mentioned it lets you spot your shots which is very important at long range hunting if you miss as it allows you to make your adjustments so you can get that second shot.
