1.Regarding ear protection, try the Surefire EP Sonic. They are cheap, effective and comfortable enough to wear most of the day. Sonic technology allows you to hear conversation. Works almost as well as the Peltor 6 and 7's without the heft and cost. I use the Peltor on the bench, Surefire in the field. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1591247113/surefire-ep3-sonic-defender-ear-plugs-nrr-24-db

2. Do not expect your rifle to shoot to same POI with and without the brake. It will not.
