[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1710896, member: 109229"] I agree. I think brakes are cool looking and have been somewhat enlightened by reading this thread. To some degree they are useful, and on the other hand they seem like they can be a marketing gimmick. I’ve got a Custom Savage Predator in 6.5-284 with a 26” fluted medium profile barrel (no brake). It’s a tank, but a real pussycat to shoot due to all that weight absorbing the kick. I wonder sometimes why someone would opt for a break on a heavier Long Range rig unless it was something really big? That said, I can see why you would have one on something like a Ridgeline to save weight, which is the purpose of the gun. For me, I think brakes are something to avoid and I’m comfortable with myself in this regard. [/QUOTE]
