My two cents. Skip the muzzle break. Learn to shoot your gun and manage the recoil .

I agree plus suggest you purchase a heavier rifle. I was fortunate enough to go to Africa in 2010. I chose to rent a rifle from my outfitter over paying the costs and going through the hassle of shipping my own. The rifle I used was an older Sako in .30-06 in a walnut stock and topped with a leupold scope. Now I was a tired puppy at the end of every day from carrying that rifle BUT I smiled every time I squeezed the trigger. The recoil felt like my .243 back home and not my .30-06.
Finally, if you choose to brake your rifle, do the rest of us a favor and build your own private range to fire it on. Our conservation dept. operates a beautiful public range near me. I refuse to go there from Sept-Dec because the braked rifles ring my ears (even with ear protection), rattle the range walls, and shake my fillings.
