[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1524438, member: 2736"] You are right, Opinions are Like *** Holes and everybody has one. I'm sorry you hurt your hearing (Something we all should worry about) But you had to shoot that rifle to get it sited in and knew it would/could hurt your hearing so don't blame anything on the rifle for your decision to shoot it without hearing protection. I have heard all the pros and cons of "ANY" attachment and also the use of any rifle without hearing protection, and the owner is responsible for his decision as to how he will address the problems of firing any firearm. Hearing is not the only reason for a muzzle device. The eyes can be damaged also from recoil. I have known several people that have had retinal detachments from to much recoil and lost there sight in that eye. The loudest rifle I ever shot was an AK (Only one time with out ear plugs) because of that angled piece of crap on the end of the barrel and that taught me that I needed to do something to protect my eyes and hearing. I have nothing against suppressors so I have nothing to say about the use of them except on typical long barreled rifles that become necessary for our type of hunting. They are ungainly at best at 50 + inches and adding a suppressor In my opinion can render them unusable. In a short barreled rifle i can see the attraction but not in a rifle where velocity and portability are the norm. For many years they were against the law and in many places you still have to buy a license to possess one. So in every case the suppressor is not the perfect solution. There are disadvantages to most everything and nothing is the perfect answer for every use or like, so don't condemn brakes just because you like suppressors. Personally I like the clean lines of a fine rifle that doesn't have anything attached to the muzzle, but in some cases I forgo the aesthetics, and revert to what gives the best overall performance for what I am going to use it for. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
