Does the Graco (or other brand) make that much difference in felt recoil? I'm thinking of installing one on my 378 Weatherby so that I could shoot without using the muzzle brake. With the muzzle brake it's a pussy cat, but without, not so nice.
From a blind I can easily use hearing protection, but I am concerned about situations where I might want to do some stalking. There I want want to shed the hearing protection (and the brake).
