Clearly Mr. Mauser is not a fan, however, your point is duly noted! The range is one place where I was expecting a brake to be beneficial, especially when indulging in load development and at our local NZDA range you generally have to book it for yourself anyway, so for me, making it unpleasant for others shouldn't really be a problem, the only thing is if is gonna be detrimental (in the ways Mr. Mauser was speaking) to me, the shooter!

I have one of gregs brakes and its not at all noisy to shoop with aslong you you were good muffs.
If your 5 feet eather side is much worse then behind.

And amazingly effective

A lightweight overbore magnum is certainly a lot nicer to shoot with one

do you guys remember the Browning Boss systems??????/ mate had it on a .25/06 and we went out after wallabies
all went well till he fired the first shot,we didn't get bugger all after that as the dogs couldn't keep running once they had tucked their paws into their ears!!!!!!!!!!!
that was enough for me
had a guy on range with same rifle in .30/06 and it was very unpleasant we tried taping up ports even putting aluminium off coke can on first but she blew all that away too, not a nice rifle to be around, now poke a suppressor on it and it would be fine, I get AROUND the length issue by keeping can in back pack while travelling through thick scrub or carry rifle slung across front of body with muzzle (can on) out right side above shoulder which puts my left hand right by the pistol grip,I find it pleasant enough to carry this way as it balances nicely.
