[QUOTE="tuscan, post: 1446773, member: 90621"] I use Thunder Beast. Have 3 of them, and switch them among rifles, so have qd brakes on all my rifles. For hunting, I use the 7, but could see having a 5 for that purpose. The longer the suppressor, the less wieldy the weapon, and for hunting I like wieldy. If you are in a situation where you cannot use the suppressor, the TB brake is good for controlling recoil, but it does direct blast strongly to sides, so your hunting companion/guide needs to be aware and behind, and all need good hearing pro. The brake could be better designed as a standalone brake, but there are probably limits to that when designing to pair with suppressor. At least it doesnt direct down, so there is no dust cloud effect. Recent hunt for aoudad showed why suppressor is great. My friend shooting a 308 unsuppressed scattered the herd after first shot (and miss). He switched to my suppressed 6.5 creedmoor later that day, and though he missed his first shot again (in fairness, 350 yard high angle shot with 10-15mph variable crosswind), this bunch did not scatter and his second shot anchored a nice ram. Without the suppressor, I'm not sure he would have had that shot. [/QUOTE]
