[QUOTE="villagelightsmith, post: 1965878, member: 68421"] Frederich Selous faced the same issue with his "Baby," an elephantine musket of 4-bore, throwing a 1/4lb round ball in front of whatever charge he dared to put behind it. His remedy for recoil was to allow some other fellow in his hunting party to "unload" the thing. And that's precisely the same way I feel about "muzzle brakes." Get a suppressor and a nice [I]thick, soft[/I] trapshooter's sissy pad. The kind that goes 100-straight, [I]not[/I] the thin leather covered hard pad. Work on the stock a bit too. The less it pounds your cheek and ears, the less will be your perception of recoil.If you really think you need a lot of smoke, noise, and recoil to make you think you're shooting a "man's" gun, then heaven help you, I'll be hunting a full drainage or two to the West and you're welcome to your entire territory.
