Muzzle Brake
I have been at the range several time, where I have seen shooters flinch, and with every size of shooter. I have seen 3 people scope themselves, 1 was north of 6 foot and 240 lbs. Recoil does induce flinch. If you are not sure if you flinch or not, have someone load your rifle with an empty case (some where in the stack) so that you don't know which round is the blank. you will know if you flinch or not, right away. Muzzle brakes reduce recoil, which help stop flinching. Flinching induces poor accuracy.
Every rifle that I own larger than a 257wby (13 including one 257wby) has a Muzzle brake.
There is a multitude of hearing protection types on the market, that are very easy to use. For me it is a no brainer, Muzzle brake!
