The brake does not appear to be removable.

Nice looking hammer! GLWS That one hammers at both ends I bet. It broke a 40 year old Leupold 2.5-8 on the first shot...maybe I should have expected that? Bore sighted it, 1 shot at 50 yards, not even on paper. Bore sighted and shot again not even on paper and crosshairs nowhere near where i put them. That's the first Leupold I ever bought at 18 years old and headed for Alaska. That scope has been on several rifles, including my first .338. Has the dot with crosshairs, I doubt they even make that reticle anymore. They'll probably replace it with a vx1.

Very nice ! So the brake doesn’t help recoil much ? I didn't shoot it enough to say. It was pretty lively the 4 times I did shoot it. It did remind me why I don't like brakes. I already have military grade tinnitus and hearing loss. This thing is loud, even with muffs! But where else can you get 2900 FPS with a 200 grain TSX in an under 6 lb short action rifle? I don't need anything more than a .308 for the hunting I do these days. We have to choose whether to hunt deer and elk with archery, muzzleloader or modern rifle. I have only been hunting muzzleloader for the last few years.
