So people are trying to sell off their Kings. So what? It is likely due to the interest in the caliber generated by this thread. If they were really interested in selling, they would not list them at near retail price, or I would have bought one already.:D
 
I think a lot of guys buy them, and aren't willing to put up with the recoil. It's not bad if you're used to big guns, but is a lot coming from a .30-06 etc. Talked to more than one buyer that bought one, and sold it on the recoil count. This stands for either the H&H or the Ruger, mind you, the Ruger's reaching more entry level .375 buyers.

If a shooter thinks that putting a muzzle brake on a heavy hitter is stupid then they don't deserve to own a heavy hitter. I love muzzle brakes. And if I'm at the range and plenty of benches are open I use an end table. Then if someone sits right beside me and cries about the blast I just point to the open benches.

Don't sell those 375 Rugers IF you have a purpose for a big gun. Put a muzzle brake on it and use it. That goes for H&H owners too.

Unless a 375 is 6 lbs, I don't see the need for a muzzle brake. I wouldn't brake a .375 or a .416 or a .458...

Why? Cause it's STUPID:p
 
Only application I thought was good for a brake was my friends .338 Lapua, by PGW. Had a brake liek a panzer tank, and I could see the hits from it.

It was also heavy, and not a general purpose hunting rifle.:)

When I win the lottery I'll take you up on this offer!:) You'll just have to buy yourself another one.:p

I always thought muzzlebreaks were ugly and inconvenient. If you need one you should probably get a different (smaller) caliber. Unless of course you are shooting a sniper rifle, then we understand...

Brakes are ugly inconvenient and damaging to your ears.

If you ned a brake on your HUNTING rifle, you should just step down to a smaller cartridge, use good bullets, and make sure of your placement...

Same for bigger cartridges, really.:p
 
A brake is a wonderful thing when shooting many rounds from the prone position.

Of course, recoil is more manageable if one is a flesh laden individual with particularly large amounts of facial tissue and a chunky upper body.

I enjoy using a muzzle braked hunting rifle. There is one particular brand that effectively reduces noise to the shooter in addition to reducing felt recoil.

That said, I would not opt to use a muzzle brake on a 375 H&H.

It must be noted that I never sit at a bench at a gun range. All of my practice is based upon real life situations that would arise in the field. ie off a fencepost, against a tree, prone, seated, standing, off a down log, backpack.........you get the idea.
