Suppressed Magnums

[memtb]

I can't resist commenting here.

If you can be transported via vehicle or horseback to your shooting position, and no hiking/carry is required ……it's your business what you hang on the end of your barrel. Then a "suppressor" can be totally justified.

If you're going to be hiking/hunting several miles per day, possibly in somewhat vertical terrain at altitude……portability in length and weight is at a premium. That's no place for a suppressor.

I also believe that this is no place for a brake!! Yes, ear protection can be worn…..but, is impractical in many hunting situations.

In that day of hunting, you may cover several miles of hunting, and you will likely be in varying terrain….. shooting could be measured in feet to many hundreds of yards. I strongly suspect that no one here has a rifle that recoils so badly that a brake is necessary for one or two shots fired in a hunting scenario! I prefer to hunt without ear plugs, muffs , ect……brakes simply won't work! memtb

I absolutely agree with everything you'd said here. That's about the best summary of suppressors and wild lands hunting I've ever seen.

My take is that I'll probably never be a true backpack hunter again and I can always use my titanium suppressor and take it off for transport and put it back on before shooting or before a time I'm likely to encounter game If I actually DO get very far from motorized transportation.

Backpack hunting is a very specialized type of hunting that is rarely truly done these days and those who actually walk the walk rather than talk the talk are dying breed as most of the American public has basically degenerated to a bunch of skinny fat keyboard hunters that could in no way handle the rigors of combining backpacking and hunting at the same time.

You should go to Argentina and complete the 2000 doves in one day challenge. It will not only tremendously improve your shotgun game, but also remove any hesitation (flinch) shooting b a rifle.

The best way to learn to cope with getting hit, is to get hit a bunch.

I don't have a flinch, at all.

And honestly, I think this would INDUCE a flinch with shooting 2000 rounds in a day. No thanks.

When shooting suppressed vs muzzle brake you will have an increase in recoil when shooting suppressed, it's just physics. I got a 8 lb 300 win mag that just rocks me when I have my TBAC Ultra 7 on it. According to TBAC the ultra 7 reduces recoil compared to bare muzzle by 8% which frankly ain't sh**. I ended up buying the new TBAC Magnus RR series which they claim 65% recoil reduction. This would put it on the same level as muzzle brake with recoil reduction. I've been in ATF jail for about 90 days, hopefully not to much longer. Problem with the new RR series, if you didn't get your hands on one you will be waiting 2 years at the minimum before touching one…..their backlog is stupid

I do not know why you are waiting over 90 days, I just did paper work on Nov 14 and picked it up on 12-1 approved in 17 days
