    First thing is , with out buying anything, change your shooting technique, old your forearm with your left hand if you are a right hand shooter, having a bag or rolled clothing under the but stock when field shooting and shooting of a bag. All those things will help.
    But also turning down the magnification of your scope.
    Today I was shooting at 1000yrds with a 308 loaded with 208 gr eldm at clay targets ,my magnification was turned down to x15 ( my scope goes up to x30) and that is shooting free recoil with a rifle close to 10kg. With a magnification any higher I can not see the impact. ( and that gun is no5 suppressed).

    If that does not work for you, yes you can buy a muzzle brake, you can go from basic radial to a more agressive directional. But your neighbours on the shooting range will hate you ( it is your confort ( kind off) against their discomfort) .
