I have a removable brake on my Ultimate. IMO that's the only way to go, as I just remove it for cleaning, placing it in a container of Butch's PB Bore Shine to soak while I clean the barrel. Once the barrel is clean, I clean the brake, lube the threads and screw it back on. Easy to do and takes less than 5 minutes. Cleaning one built into the barrel may be a pain......

However as reported above, they are LOUD. VERY LOUD. If a shooter on the range next to you doesn't have good hearing protection, he's going to comment on it. My wife never complained when I was shooting at home using the Pro Hunter, however the Ultimate is a whole different story. She "prefers" I go to the club to shoot.

Without a brake, I believe the recoil from my rifle would be 70# and enough to limit much shooting. With the brake, I'm told it reduces that recoil by about 30%. That's enough to keep using the brake and of course the lead sled too.
