Agree Z.
I have only one rifle with a brake. It's an Ed Brown Damara in .300 Win Mag.
Ed supplied all his light weight magnums with brakes, said they were more accurate.
It's noisy, but is a great shooter and it does shoot better with the brake. The Damara is now discontinued, is such a fine rifle I'd never trade or sell it. It's a keeper, brake notwithstanding.
I wear ear protection and would never take it on a hunt when others would be nearby.
I have too many other fine guns for that.
