IS the 30-378 too much with no brake?

[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1284916, member: 7999"] You are shooting some heavy recoiling rifles already. I am not a big guy, 5'6" 170lbs. My first magnum rifle was a 30-378. I was able to shoot it and other rifles of similar cartridge. I had to mentally prepare for the shot each time. Sometimes in hunting situations shooting prone the scope would get me. I am a free recoil shooter. I fought the idea of a break for years for all the same reasons as stated here. I think you will be able to shoot it fine. It will probably never be the rifle you take out for plinking. I personally really like the big 30 cals. I think they give the best vel for bullet weight and bc in a carry weight big game rifle. I finally got tired of the punishment and now shoot and hunt with a break. I like a break on everything bigger than 6.5mm now. They are just so much easier to shoot. I carry ear plugs while hunting now and do so with unbreaked rifles as well. They are loud too. I never shoot an unbreaked rifle at the range without hearing protection, doesn't seem like a good idea just because the target is alive. Steve [/QUOTE]
