[QUOTE="NZperson, post: 1588766, member: 109437"] Ive used them for years, accepting the weight penalty and point of impact change. On several rifles, suppressing them has tightened groups up a bit. My 26" 6.5X47 is now 22" as it was too cumbersome. I also find a caliber specific can works better in terms of volume reduction, but it's hard to go past a .30cal that can be used on anything smaller. I still like hearing protection at the range, they aren't enough on their own to prevent hearing damage. Likewise if shooting with dogs, they are excellent, and I subscribe to the theory that animals are less spooked by a shot fired from a suppressed firearm. Only hearing the supersonic crack doesn't seem to offer them as much info as to where a shot came from. My only everyday use rifle that's unsuppressed is a very lightweight 7X57R - and it kicks, and barks noticeably more than my others. [/QUOTE]
