I got involved in some of those heated discussions. One area was the use of muzzle brakes in the field. Specifically the adverse effects on professional hunter and staff, not to mention the necessary caution by the shooter to protect his own hearing. The other was certain members seem to be bragging about their handling of the OK. Then also, was also the comparison (even unabashed promotion)of 600OK with a brake as magically better than some other guns without brakes. That was not being an equal or fair comparison.

The problem with AR, is one moderators and one key participant have product for sale and the debate get cut short and limited quick. Result- I was banned after posting some quotes from PH regarding muzzle brakes and more stirring the pot regarding magazine capacity and on and on. There is no single best solution for the big bore fanatic.

Its not such a big deal to too fire a properly built and braked 50BMG. Fun for sure, but the braggin is in the performance of the shooter not the mere survival.

If it is just for bragging right, I'd be more impressed with an unbraked 577 TREX than any braked weapon. But for fun, and with the proper hearing protection at all times, this 600 sounds like a great choice too.

The same group who are pushing so hard on the 600 also made the notorious video about the 577 trex. It turns out that rifle has a 1/10 twist. The result is the torque causes the gun the twist out of the shooters hands. That was a design flaw in that particular gun. Then the loading is a bit off the wall , but for bragging rights I guess that might be just what is wanted. Now, that is bragging without a brake.

Another problem in the field for many of these guns (besides the brakes) is the limited magazine capacity of two shots. But again, for fun, no problem at all.
