Were do people come up with this stuff? Is it written in contracts, regulations, or man law?Should you ever go on a guided hunt, or want to hunt with someone else, you can pretty much plan on leaving your gun with a brake at home, unless you can remove or disable the brake.

+1Nobody wants to sit next to you when you shoot a gun in a real caliber with a brake. I'd tell him to leave the gun, myself.
Really...illegal...why?In a few African countries, muzzle brakes are illegal when hunting. Some guides in the US wont have anything to do with them either.
Amen, I despise a brake unless it is absolutely necessary...in which case I generally despise the rifle system. Start with a good recoil pad, add weight and/or a mercury recoil reducer. A properly fitting rifle is also important.If you are sensitive and need to deal with the recoil of a 30'06, then you should start at other end of the rifle, not at the barrel. There are a multitude of stock-mounted recoil reduction components that work very well, as well as managed recoil ammunition.
