[QUOTE="VenatusDominus, post: 2134721, member: 117869"] I bought my 300 Weatherby 30 years ago and just got around to fitting it with a brake in Jan 2021. I sent the rifle back to Weatherby to have them thread the barrel and add their AccuBrake (so as not to void their 1 MOA guarantee). Fit and finish were superb. Sent it Dec 17 and received it Feb 5 (they told me to expect 90 days). They advertise 54% reduction in recoil and I would say that is about right from the way is feels with and without the brake. I took the AccuBrake off and replaced it with the Precision Armament Hypertap. I went with their “slim body” because it fit my barrel contour better. They rate their .30 cal slim body Hypertap at 67% recoil reduction, and from what I felt, they are not exaggerating. I prefer the Hypertap to the AccuBrake for the reduced recoil and more importantly, the Hypertap is only side ported so it kicks up considerably less debris when shooting prone. My rifle is a whole new gun, a joy to shoot. I’ve only had one day at the range since getting it back from Weatherby and I only put 30 rounds through it from the bench for load development (165 Barnes TSX and 185 Berger 185 VLD Hunting). Normally after a session like that I would have a sore shoulder and some slight bruising, but had neither. I can’t speak as to its effects on accuracy yet as I’m still working on my hand loads for these two rounds (haven’t shot factory rounds for decades). Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
