RE: muzzel brake for 30-06
As stated you can put a brake on about anything. I have one on my Ruger 77 30-06 which is my main hunting rifle recoil is next to nothing and the gun is very accurate, but it is loud when shooting. I notice it whe shooting for the bench but cant ever remember hearing it when taking a deer <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> I also have brakes on my 300 win mag and have had them on a 7mmSTW and a 300WBY MAG I had they were great at redoucing recoil. I see no true down side to a brake for myself but the noise level is something to concider.
