[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1223826, member: 14204"] It boils down to personal preference. Muzzle brakes are definitely not for everybody. I am not recoil sensitive but most of my hunting rifles sports muzzle brakes and suppressor. A well designed muzzle brake (and there's plenty of them around to choose from) not only reduces the felt recoil significantly but also reduces the muzzle rise/jump ... seeing targets on impact is priceless and allows transitioning to target re-acquisition easier should a follow up shot is required. AZShooter provided you with an excellent link. An average muzzle brake install is $100 + the cost of a muzzle brake. Have you considered staying with .280AI since you're already set-up for it and re-barreling it with a faster twist, i.e., 1:8" (not sure if you're set-up is the factory barrel or what the twist rate is) and launch them 195 Bergers? Good luck! Ed [/QUOTE]
