C'mon, you can do better than that..... Unless you feel like you hit a dead end. Why the deflection? Several people stated they don't care for brakes, doesn't mean you have change course. take a few minutes, come back with something a little more creative.

Generally, these are my thoughts on brakes too and those that have them on rifles...
99% of the time it's someone who's waaay overcartridged and way under their perceived shooting skills...
There are some guns that are just plain loud. I was at the range when both I, with my braked rifle, and a friend without a braked rifle agreed that a guy with a 7mm Mag without a brake was louder than my braked rifle. Both were using about the same amount of powder. Do you same guys moan and whine about a guy with a .454 revolver on a bench next to you. They are just as loud as a braked rifle.

You just happen to fit my 99% perfectly, imagine that.... Ladder tests, Hubble scopes as spotters, big huge brakes on custom wildcats that burn waaay to much powder for their gain, holier than thou attitude....you fit the brake user profile perfectly....

If you are going to be firing a rifle with a brake in close proximity to others, you should be courteous. I had a ported Guide Gun that was OBNOXIOUS with stout handloads. When I was at the range, I talked to and cooperated with other shooters. Being respectful isn't difficult.

Love how all the brake-using Nancy's only think of themselves, Nothing better than being at a public range with braked rifles on either or both sides of your bench, Multiple people at the local range have stated to management that they need to consider dedicating a separate range for the braked rifles, I'm tired of having items blown off my bench by the sideways blast. Took my son to the range 3 years ago, he was 13 then and sure enough we got trapped in between two braked rifles, He lost all interest in the rifle range. Did I mention I hate muzzle brakes? There's a fix for that. Take your Weatherby or mebbe a .416 Rigby, .600 Nitro, something of that sort. When the goblins start blowing stuff off your bench, stand up, load up and retaliate. Works most days. Mosin Nagant mod. 38 carbine and heavy ball loads work to. I had one once. Never had a rifle I hated more.

I've found a polite and calm discussion with solve most brake problems.
Just go my first brake a few weeks ago and mounted it on my Ruger Scout .308. My long time hunting buddy says there is no recoil but I think it is more like a .30-30, probably somewhat less.
So far it hasn't been a problem for other shooters as we have either been shooting next to other braked rifles or we have provided plenty of separation or just set it aside and shot other rifles.
It isn't the brakes that are inconsiderate, it is some of the shooters using them. Often I think they don't realize how annoying the brakes can be. When I've discussed the issue with such shooters they have either moved or set the braked rifle aside.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

I'm with you on this. I shake my head, every time I see a new guy plop down his handy dandy hunting rifle with a brake screwed on the end of it. Generally it's a younger guy that doesn't know any better. The last time it was a younger guy toting a braked 308 Winchester Ruger 77 mkII and his dad with a brand new AR 15 with all the fixins. Their buddy also had a fancied up AR and we were trying to be nice to them, letting them get their rifles dialed in so they could shoot a little comp with us. One guy crossfired onto my target that was 10 feet away from his target stand and that same guy also had a negligent discharge of his rifle 5 feet in front of the benches. I'd sometimes like to shove a muzzle braked rifle or AR up someones azz so far, they'd have a pointy head. Am I a dick? Yeah, most of the time..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
