Wearing electronic ear muffs is a lot easier than absorbing recoil from hard kickers...reducing the recoil to a 243 Win level for 7 Mags makes for some very accurate shooting.

From my experience, the less a rifle kicks, the more ALL shooters like to shoot that rifle! Take a 6.5 Creed and add a muzzle break, now you are approaching 223 recoil.....at least in their mind. Electronic ear muffs allow you to hear 5x what you would normally hear in the woods....a revelation to most on what they had been missing!
