If you put a 4oz mercury recoil reducer in the butt stock it will help even more,it will also help balance a rifle if you have a long heavy barrel.I would keep the break on it,heck with magna porting a barrel,the Gentry muzzle breaks have an 11% forward angle on the holes,pushes noise forward away from hunter.All 12 of my rifles have a Gentry break on it,yes I do wear electonic ear muffs all the time.
