Took my Ruger American .308 out for the first time this weekend, and as expected, it kicks pretty hard.

Not a huge deal, but after 50+ rounds my shoulder was definitely feeling it.

So I started considering buying a brake as I'm told this can help a lot with felt recoil.

What do you guys recommend?

P.s. The primary use of this rifle will be target shooting for now.
