None needed. I have a .338JDJ#2 w/ no brake.....and would do it again. IMO...get it and shoot it first. If you need it, then send it back to be added. Once it is there, then there is no going back.
I agree completely.
I had a 375 JDJ barrel with a brake. Hated that damn thing. Loud was an understatement.
Sold it and bought one without. No regrets.
I have a 309 JDJ in a 14" contender barrel with no brake. The recoil is very manageable, IMHO.
