You are right about muzzle brake put one on my 270 Remington it kicks less than my Tikka 243 now. Some of the guys in club have suppressor I shot a 260 with one it was no kick like you said. I will probably do the 308 next. The old woman said get a gun for your 60th Bday so I did. I got a 6.5 Creedmoor Savage Lrp on its way. I originally wasn't going to buy new rifle either sell 308 then maybe get something else but she told me that I decided to keep it buy another rifle. I defintely don't need any more guns just decided get it anyway after she talked me into it.
Thanks
