What do you weigh under 100lbs? The .308 win is a soft push. a 12ga shotgun has a higher felt recoil than a .308. Get a better recoil pad, cheaper and easier on the ear drums.

If you need a muzzle brake on a .308 then you need to go back to a .22LR or pellet gun. Those things are worthless and detrimental unless you are shooting something with a high recoil signature and doing it a lot.

^^What he said.^^
Some people are just close minded. I weigh 250 and have been shooting for 40 years. I'm not very recoil sensitive, but I'm about to put a Ross brake on a 12 lb. Rem 700 VLS in 6mm Rem. shooting 55 grn. Noslers. Why? Because it generates just enough recoil to take the target out of the scope at extended ranges and high scope magnification settings. I like to see those prairie rats explode in the scope.

There are other reasons to reduce recoil besides compfort. Plugs under muffs take care of the increased volume.
