[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 675927, member: 34818"] No offense taken. It all has to do with how you position your body behind the gun and how you have the butt of the gun set in your shoulder. A muzzle brake will surely help but you are getting a lot of extra noise for the reduction of recoil (significant reduction). That is something that you have to decide yourself if it is worth it for you or not. You WILL have to wear hearing protection if you have a muzzle brake. You really need to be directly behind the gun with the butt of the gun straight in the pocket of your shoulder. When the gun recoils back into you, it is going to go in the path of least resistance. If you have the gun sitting too high in your shoulder it is going to bounce up. Also, if you have it too far to the left or right, it will bounce off of your shoulder in the opposite direction. It is very hard to do so with a magnum caliber rifle and that is why a lot of people cannot shoot these guns accurately up close or at a distance. Some people have a lot of success by holding the forend of the gun while they are lying prone so that they can tame the bouncing. You have to becareful in doing so because you can actually apply too much pressure to the forend with your grip and make the rifle move in the direction of the pressure from your grip. I personally have muzzle brakes on all of my rifles now because I like to see my impacts and following through really does help your accuracy. I am a believer in wearing hearing protection when you are shooting any gun so the extra noise is not a big deal for me. I am a Pistol firearms instructor and was on the range 5 days a week for 3.5 years. We wore inner foam ears and earmuffs and when it is silent, I have a ringing sound in my ears.
