Thanks all. So really the consensus seams that whilst tolerated the impact on hearing doesn't make them popular in Africa. Do people use kick stops at all. The Blaser R8 has a pre built space for them. I guess I'm trying to figure out whether they help with accuracy or are just somewhat of an...

Does anyone use muzzle breaks for African hunts. Saw a recent video where it showed a 50% reduction in recoil (I guess a big increase in noise!). Would be interested to hear people's thoughts as I don't ever seem to see any in many of the pics.

Was told that it was more likely that they would have to be taken at longer distance, hence why I thought the 270 would be flatter over that distance. In hindsight, I should...

Great info, thanks. I was unsure on these but certainly the 308 should qualify for a reasonable quarry list. I thought the 270 would be better over distance. On that subject of distance, is there a recognised range that people are shooting at. Is there an average or does it vary too...
