| I just figured I would ask some others the question I was pondering. I received a 300 Weatherby mag for Christmas, I haven't shot it yet, so I was wondering if anyone could give me a learned opinion. I Have a M70 338 Win mag with the BOSS that recoils less than my 30-06, I can shoot the 30-06 all day with no ill efect from recoil. I've shot a 300 Win mag (sako)2 rounds and it kicked like a mule. I will determine after my first trip to the range (if the weather ever breaks here) if I need the brake. My Question is, should I go for $150 after market brake or have a gunsmith put on a custom brake that looks beautiful for $300 ??? Thanks in advance for your input. Maybe I'll be able to manage the recoil!!! |

| Petem, I have had braked and un-braked rifles. Both with custom and factory breaks. Shoot your new rifle and judge for yourself, but judge more than the recoil. For the cost of a custom break, you could get a stock made that fits you perfectly. It has been my experience that a well fitted stock is more valuable than a break. The blast and noise are worse than the recoil as far as I'm concerned. My 338-378 came with a break and I removed it after the first two rounds. Good luck and good shooting.

| But if you must have a break, take a look at the website below. This looks to be about the best option going right now. http://www.bp-tec.com/This would class as a custom break on the price scale you mentioned. |

| I agree with Don. If you need to brake the rifle, you don't need the rifle. Learn to shoot it or get rid of it. |

| After you try the rifle, if you decide that you would like a brake by all means put one on. It will allow you to shoot the rifle better. If you have one installed make sure you always wear hearing protection. Be considerate of others, (do not just walk up to the range and start blazing away.) A brake is a very valuable tool, use it to your advantage. |
