bearskinner,
That is a nice collection. What brand are the muzzle brakes, or who did them?
Looks like you prefer scopes over red dots. I do see one red dot on your SBH Hunter.
The brakes that are turned to the same diameter as the barrel are from Reeder Custom. A few are Magna-ported, there's one with the bell shaped brake, from SSK.
I like brakes on the big boomers, as I shoot one handed a lot, and it definitely helps with follow up shots. It also helps to keep the scope out of your face, when swinging on a moving shot. I hunt with the scoped guns, so many are set up the same way. Familiarity is your friend under adverse conditions. It's just one less thing to think about. The revolvers all look and feel that same. Leupold dual dovetail mounts, mostly Leupold glass. Also, mostly stainless, as I'm rough on my revolvers. That makes them easy to wipe off scratches.
