Just wondering, are some muzzle brakes quieter than others? I shot my cousins 06 once, he said he doesn't use it because it's to loud, anyway i only (usually) use ear protection while target shooting, but shot it without protection, and my bud and I experienced the worse ear pain of our life, I hate that gun! His setup is older, maybe a modern top of the line muzzle brake, set up on his 30-06 would be more quiet?
