There are definitely specific applications where a brake is a valuable addition to a rifle. Such as on a varmint rig or tactical rig where either seeing the bullet impact is important or reacquiring the target as quickly as possible.
On a general purpose hunting rifle, such as his, a brake is not a good idea imo.
i never said i needed a break to shoot. I asked if i should cut the barrel or leave it long. i am not askin advise on what gun to shoot, simply..cut or leave it long?
