Hey RA, Why get a thumper if you are just gonna tame it down with a brake. Feeling the "thump" is half the fun aint it.
That's like buying a Ferarri to only drive 70mph. You gotta let it rip and throw you back in the seat. [8D]

The last time I was at the range, I had the unfortunate experience of be being forced to sit next a shooter with a muzzlebreak.(this was due to range rules concerning specific firearms, at specific benches).
The only funny part about the situation was the fact that the muzzlebreak was on a blackpowder muzzleloader! This guy claimed it was a "smokebreak" and that it cleared the smoke out of view as soon as the shot was fired.
All I have to say is that everyone in the vicinity was very displeased about being subjected to the blast from this contraption. The only people that gathered around this gun all looked like they wanted get their hands on it...so they could thow it in the woods!

Basically, if it kicks hard enough that you need a brake to shoot it then sell it and buy something that kicks less.

If the recoil is the problem have you considered something like the Knoxx compstock? It is a rifle stock that has a built in recoil reducer check them out at www.cabelas.com i hope this helps chad

I've got a KDF brake on a 300 win mag and I like it, but I have been hunting with hearing protection, usually I have a ear plug for the two way radio in one ear and a walker game ear in the other, and I have no problems. When noy hunting with others I put a walkman ear plug where the two wayradio was.
