[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1965056, member: 1656"] Heathen brake. I bought one for my 338 Edge for exactly this reason. I wanted a brake which would make the rifle shootable, but minimize concussion. It's a hunting rifle so I was willing to give up some recoil reduction for the perfect balance. I typically double muff with brakes on the range but that's not realistic hunting, so the concussion was an issue. The Heathen's rear port is 90 degrees, straight out to the side. So it creates a wider envelope around the shooter (and spotter) than aggressive brakes which do better at absolute recoil reduction. So recoil reduction is not Fat Bastard level, but it reduces a 338 Edge to 300WM or less recoil I've got a second Heathen, a newer model which can have the caliber changed by turning out the end. It's currently on my daugher's 6X45 to reduce recoil to absolute zero, but I'll eventually swap oout the end and put it om my 300WM, my other long range hunting rifle. [/QUOTE]
