I have a 116FCSS in 375 Ruger that I bought new in 2012. It did not come with a brake from the factory. Suffice to say it was way too light for that size cartridge without a brake. First shot severely gashed my eyebrow open (shooting from the bench). Partly my mistake, by having a scope with too short of eye relief. The rifle was super light so I added about 3lbs of lead in the stock and had a muzzle brake made/installed. Also added a scope with about 4" eye relief and all has been good every since. It's actually a very accurate rifle. Honest 1/2 moa or less at 100 yards which is pretty darned good for a medium bore and my mediocre skills.
