If youwerepurchasing the gun to shoot at the range then it makes some sense....however youstated this would be a hunting rifle.

If you are not aware, shooting guns with muzzlebreaks without hearing protection can/does result in permanent hearing loss. Yes,that occurs in guns even without a brake. However the effects with the brake are much more dramatic.

Since youplan onusing this gun for hunting, I would strongly advise against the BOSS, unless of course you plan on hunting while wearing ear protection, (unlikely).

If you doubt my advice, just do yourself a favor. Go to the range and stand at the line while anyone is shooting a gun with a muzzlebreak. That way you will at least be aware of what you will be doing to yourself before making an investment.

You can take your pick....permanent hearing lossOR sore shoulder OR smaller caliber....
