Default RE: Muzzle Break, your opinions

Just saying, if a rifle needs a muzzle-break its either poorly made, its too light for the cartridge, or someone's shooting something too big for them. I weigh 200 lbs at 5'8" so i'm pretty stocky and my cut off is a 300win mag on recoil in a 8 1/2 to 9 lbs. rifle. I shot my cousins 300win mag in a winchester mod 70 that weighed 7 1/4 lbs. and oh my god did it hurt. I believe muzzle breaks have their place but not in this guys gun safe.

Noise is my biggest enemy against flinch. Of course at the range hearing protection is a must but not in the field. Hunters already have enough gadgets to carry around fumbling with. One hunter said to the other hunter did you see that huge bull, the reply was nope he wasn't on my gps.
