Gun and gear reviews Muzzle brakes

I have a Bergara b14 hunter 7mm rem mag, it came with a omni brake on it. I don’t feel the recoil is that bad but out of curiosity I’m wondering if people have used other muzzle brakes.

Are they worth the money ?

Do they help recoil that much better?

Does changing a muzzle brake affect accuracy at all?

Is radial , side ports or a hybrid of both best?

Would like to know peoples experiences and thoughts on it

Thanks

A brake will help recoil noticeably, some are better than others. Whether it’s worth it is up to you. 

The omni/radial brakes will blow dirt and dust back at you if you shoot prone. Side port brakes avoid that problem. 

A brake should not affect accuracy negatively but will probably change your POI after it’s installed so you would have to adjust your zero.
