Does a brake make your bolt action more accurate. Been doing some looking on the internet and a couple of manufactures say their brakes make their rifles more accurate. So do they? And would you put one on a 308?

Muzzle brakes contribute to significant hearing damage, even in the field. If you have a big kicker and are recoil sensitive, and can discipline yourself to always having heavy hearing protection (and can convince any companions to do likewise) then you might want to consider one.
With a .308? No way. Recoil reducing stock devices, good pads, proper length of pull, proper drop at the comb . . . there are many ways to manage recoil.
My hardest kicker is a .338 Win Mag, and it's tolerable for most folks who have shot it. I personally believe that most brakes are "made to sell" and that unless one is into big Africa stuff, they aren't necessary. CB
