Many years ago I won a beautiful model 700 in 06 caliber. I too had my right shoulder destroyed and rebuilt so I had a slimline brake installed on the rifle. I shoot exclusively 180 grain rounds and while the 700 was a very good shooter originally it became even better with the brake installed. People say a rifle accuracy can go one way or another with a brake installed and mine went the good way. As for recoil I compare it now to my .243 which shoots only 55 grain ballistic tips. Very gentle. And comfortable.
