Personally, I find that rifles with recoil that is heavier than the 300WM are the best canidates for a muzzle brake.

Why?
I want to brake all our long-range rifles- 7-08, .308, .260, and 7.62 x 54R- just so we can try to spot our own hits on steel at 600 and 1000 yards.
Minimizing muzzle jump can eliminate the need for a spotter. It's not just about reducing recoil.
To the OP...
I've seen several at the range, most recently two days ago. Guy had one (and a CZ750) that he was doing load development for. Didn't get too much into specifics, but he said he liked the rifle, and so far he had it printing 1", 3-shot groups at 200 with H1000.
I didn't ask to shoot it (though I thought about it!), but recoil didn't seem too punishing to him. While the concussion was certainly noticeable two benches down where I was sitting, it was bearable- not nearly as disconcerting as trying to be anywhere near the .50's that frequent there.
