That was my initial inclination, Jorge. I would not have bought a brake for it, but it just came with one. It, like my Accuguard in the same caliber, will recoil a lot less than my .340 Wby or .375 Wby, which don't bother me. I just am curious to try it out. So, when I am shooting the first few shots from the bore-sighted rifle to get it a bit above the bullseye at 100 yds, I may shoot with the brake. Then, if I'm not liking that, take it off.

One question I don't think was answered, and perhaps there isn't an easy answer, is, aside from changes in POI, can a brake affect accuracy? I assume not, but I don't know what happens with pressure waves when a bullet is exiting at 3,500 fps through something with a bunch of staggered holes. It is probably nothing, but it someone experienced reduced accuracy with a brake, I would be eager to just put it in a drawer or tub somewhere in my garage.
