[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 2926854, member: 68542"] Time for a new pad! Super soft recoil pad is not what you need. Firm enough to slow the rifle down, but enough give to actually yield and absorb the movement. Pachmayr decelerator is a great way to go. I have many muzzle brakes, and they’re not all equal. On my big rifles I have an MBM 4 port which is similar to the Terminator brakes. Extremely effective, but the concussion that comes back at you is severe enough I didn’t want to shoot the gun anymore. I have a seekins ATC brake on an ar15. Loud but minimal concussion (even compared to other ars with different brakes) and keeps the rifle level and flat while shooting. I have several silencerco ASR brakes that work fine solo but are rarely used without an attached suppressor. My favorite is my browning .300 with radial brake. Machined to the diameter of the barrel (thin) and about 2” long, it doesn’t send concussion back at me at all but it reduces recoil enough that 20 shots off a bench isn’t bothersome. It’ll dust you a bit if you shoot it prone, but even that’s not too bad compared to a side port brake like the Terminators. The caveat for a hunting rifle is that you need ear plugs with a brake, whereas without you can get away with a shot or two if you need to. I hate wearing ear plugs while hunting although I have some in my pocket if I have time to set up for a shot. If I have my .300, those plugs become non optional before the shot. [/QUOTE]
