Would You Put a M.B. on a .308 Hunting Rig?

[Brian46]

I would not brake a hunting rig because:
1. I don't always wear ear plugs and ear muffs out hunting like I do on the range with a brake. Brakes increase sound back to the shooter, the shooter's hunting buddies and hunting dog(s) in ways I dislike.

Not a chance. A buddy nearly deafened me in Africa with his braked 300WM. I didn't like them before that and I hate them even more now.

If you are using a brake while hunting without ear protection you can get a linear compensator that throws all the blast forward like a regular rifle while still mitigating recoil on the shooter

I would look first at a recoil pad, as that will likely be enough.

No, it changes the LOP and can

unbalance the rifle

for the shooter as a result
