Should I add a mercury recoil reducer to less than 9 lbs 458 win mag

Porting is a very personal decision but one that I don't use. I've owned a few but never liked them. As a consideration, the trackers and PHs don't tend to like them as it blasts their ears.

Funny thing about breaking scopes...the worst offenders are some of the springer air rifles. They have a funny double recoil pulse that requires a different kind of scope design.

I don't use muzzle brakes for that reason. It's hard on the ears of everyone around. Mag-na- porting is different. It vents some gas up and down, but not to the sides. No one has ever noticed that the rifle is any louder, including me. You also have to show people where the little slots are are cut into the muzzle or they never notice.
