[QUOTE="Wheeler co, post: 1524221, member: 104429"] Well, opinions are like the whole in your rear. Everybody’s got at least one. I’m surprised that virtually everyone offered that some sort of break is the answer, with barely a passing mention of suppressors. Anymore, I really hate giving advise, because wisemen don’t need it, and fools won’t heed it...so you don’t have to take it ( believe me)...but here goes. Have had a Wby.300 ULW since they came out, which corresponded to about the time I started getting old, so I appreciated the light carry, with the 14 oz Swarovski. The sound and recoil was manageable. Then came out the Wby.30-378 with the attached break. First shot at game blew my hearing out...right there on the spot. I sat down for ten minutes with bells crashing in my head while the elk flopped on the next hill. It never got better. The bells are still ringing right now. I never shot it again. I hate lawyers, but thought often I should have sued Weatherby for not putting a fold-out 4’ flour. red warning in every box with a break in it. Wonder how many guys that happened to? Last ten years I shoot everything suppressed. Both my ULWs still carry the 14 oz Swar and both barrels are threaded. The recoil doesn’t bother me as I get older, because the can knocks off about 40%...the same with the sound. No need for muffs. Now knowing that pups always have to find out for themselves...I will say, don’t believe what you just read...so go out and blow your ear drums out with those **** muzzle breaks...and find out for yourselves.
