[QUOTE="Mustang72, post: 1600397, member: 109065"] Plenty of the big caliber rifles are capable of fine accuracy. Not to many people shoot them well enough to let it show. I feel confident that I can pick up just about any decent shooting rifle that is sighted in for me and make a clean shot out to around 300 yards from just about any field position on a game animal. Anything past that and I want lots of practice with the same gun I am using.Brakes are a game changer for tameing recoil,but I don't want one on a hunting rifle. A word of caution to the ones banging away with the heavy kickers. I now have problems with my shooting shoulder and was told that I need eye surgery so my retina doesn't detach.Doc said it's not normal for someone only 47 years old. Pretty sure its from the countless magnum rounds over the years. Something nobody uses much anymore but is a good compromise is the original magnaport. It reduces recoil about 20-25 percent. It does made things louder,but not nearly as bad as a brake does,and there is no extra barrel length. [/QUOTE]
