Have been gifted a 300win what are the advantages to a brake? The disadvantage is the muzzle blast increase.
What brake should I be looking into?

Most definitely don't put a break on it. It will wreck your hearing. Either leave it alone or put a suppressor on it.

Wear earplugs.
If you want to significantly reduce recoil, put a brake on it. A brake does more for recoil mitigation than a suppressor does.
Area 419 makes some great ones as does APA and Patriot Valley.
Wear plugs.
Sort of depends on the rifle. My Finnlight 85 is pretty soft shooting for a .300wm and has no brake. I have a Cooper OC that is braked and it’s about like a .243 or my boy’s 6.5 RAP. Depends on how recoil sensitive you are.
And yes braked wear muffs/plugs or you’ll regret it.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

I’ll be the first to admit I hate shooting rifles that do not have a brake or suppressor.

I love shooting my breaked rifles.
Just take ear muffs to the stand with you. Takes all of 2 extra seconds to put them on before shooting.

Brakes are for long range rifles and pussies. Are you either?

First off you should be wearing hearing protection regardless, so why not? All it could do is make you a better shooter.

I love a brake for targets, hate a brake for hunting unless its only long range and you have time to insert plugs. I could care less about recoil but a brake absolutely allows the shooter more ease in seeing impact splash / hit on a target be it steel or fur.
Depends on what you want to do and yes you can run a rig with or without but your POI will not be the same.

Put a Vias think that’s right. Take ear muffs.
Shooting light or heavy magnums once or ten times isn’t fun. Hell I don’t even like shooting a 20lb 6mm without a brake. Truthfully I bitch about the recoil from a suppressor. All that is because I am extremely used to shooting a muzzle brake. It just makes things easier.
All that is just my personal opinion though. I am lazy and do not wear ear pro while deer hunting. That is the only reason I even shot suppressed.
