Can you put a muzzle brake on a Remington 700?

Do muzzle brakes improve accuracy?
It’s a muzzle brake, not break. Shouldn’t affect accuracy at all. A brake simply redirects the gasses after the bullet has left the barrel. Doing that changes how the exiting gases affect the recoil action of the firearm.
What are the disadvantages of a muzzle brake?
