[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1526980, member: 14204"] "My personal" take on this is that, these are tools to help us enhance our shooting experience and becomes a personal choice whether we use it or not. I totally agree with you that a good stock and recoil pad helps in felt recoil. However, it does not mitigate muzzle rise even on non-magnum chamberings. An effective muzzle brake serves two purpose, reduce felt recoil and reduce muzzle rise; being able to spot target on impact is priceless. BTW, before my first muzzle brake install in 2003, I use super magnum PAST recoil protection shield for many years. I am more perplexed with people complaining about hearing loss caused by firearms but not use any hearing protections on exposure to other high dB generating household tools and equipment, i.e., power tools, mowers, etc. I am one of those people that use hearing and eye protection and other PPEs, a habit I carried forward after my 10 years in flightline days generating and maintaining aircraft. While the suppressor is not as good as the muzzle brake in recoil/muzzle rise reduction, it mitigates the noise reduction effectively and perhaps IMHO the best compromise but the wait is long and is pricey. Hopefully, it gets better. I am enjoying my Eliteiron bravo suppressor and allows me to switch from one rifle to the next for what it is designed and rated. From my .30 LARA ...
