While I agree there are certainly those rifles that require a brake in order to shoot regularly and consistently, I still opt to avoid them. Can't stand the noise or the appearance. Never saw a brake that enhanced the looks of a rifle.

My experiences with Magnaporting have been restricted to handguns. This option certainly reduces muzzle rise ut I don't feel it reduces overall recoil.

I shoot an 11# 500 NE and it is probably as much rifle as I can shoot consistenly and accurately. Kicks like a mule but it's acceptable and fun. I had a #1 in 378 Weatherby mag and simply could not live with the recoil or shoot it well enough to hunt with. Damn thing was simply brutal. The friend whom purchased the rifle had a brake installed and loves the rifle. Some can shoot heavier calibres without brakes as easily as I shoot my 500. Personal tolerances, eh?

For a recreational rifle, mega-bore arms are a hoot. But, brakes are almost a certainty when dealing with such incredible recoil. It really depends upon the application intended for the rifle.
