[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2832602, member: 4191"] Effective muzzle brakes make a HUGE difference in shootability of magnum-class rifles. My Win M70 featherweight (without muzzle brake) .280 RCBS Improved, kicks notably harsher than my 338 Lapua Improved equipped with a 5-port brake. I have a brake on my 22 Creedmoor, and it's a pea shooter. I like the idea of a suppressor. Some (less) recoil reduction and huge reduction in muzzle blast. Just haven't gone there yet, due to their added length and weight. I'm backpack hunting 95% of the time, and can't quite commit to the added length and weight of a suppressor. As far as rifle selection for Kodiak brown bear, the bigger the better. No fun following up after bears in the brush after they've been shot. Hit'em with enough firepower to drop'em and stop'em. If a big one's coming after you, no rifle will feel like too much firepower at that moment in time. [/QUOTE]
