I have a new 6.5-300 Wby coming in. It's the first bolt rifle I have had that comes with a brake and, I think, a thread protector in lieu thereof.
I'm tempted not to shoot it with the brake, but would be interested in the thoughts of others who have used them.
I have another 6.5-300 in a different model, and the recoil doesn't seem to bother me.
But what do you all with experience prefer? Less physical impact and more noise with the brake? Or more physical impact and less noise without it?
How does the brake affect the POI or accuracy if at all?
Mine does not have a brake. Never missed it. Kicks less than a 7mm rem mag to me
