[QUOTE="carl1775, post: 1434841, member: 105682"] Six to one, half dozen to the other. Supply and demand. Within the firearm shooting community, there is a small pool that chooses to suppress their weapons. From the pool of manufacturers, there is an even smaller number that produce over the barrel suppressors v. end barrel. In the game of suppressors, the bench mark is dB. Generally, over the barrel suppressors are ticks louder than their end barrel competitors. If you get any sound manipulation device below 134 dB (OSHA standard), then really it comes to preference (price, set-up and aesthetics). Why Remington v Savage? 6.5 Creedmor v 260? Variety is the spice of life. Either suppressed choice is better than ported barrels, or no modification at all, in my opinion. I guess in the end, it comes down to which is the most efficient way to suppress the report and noise pollution produced from the use of a firearm. My preference on a long rifle, is end barrel. I don't find the added length a hinderance in my shooting style and actually think the added weight helps. But, like most things in this realm, personal preference dictates what is best to the individual. [/QUOTE]
