Muzzle brakes do reduce felt recoil but in return direct the hot gases and pressure towards the user thus making it louder to the shooter. I have been doing my own for a while now and the other day I modified a brake that I made for another rifle which is now suppressed.

There are many choices in brakes today and most gunsmiths offer installation. If you plan on not running a brake while hunting you also need a thread protector. Just beware that you are hanging a weight on the muzzle and it will change barrel harmonics which can lead to POI shifts.
