Thread: The Cons of Suppressors .........?

Con: cost to bloody much

When at the same point; do I suppress my 270WSM(150gr berger at 3160fps)? I went down the removable muzzle brake route, now shoots like a 223 and cost less than $240 fitted.

Hearing protection should still be used with suppressors, therefore, might as well get the recoil under control.......properly.

Carry the brake in my belt or Bino pack, thread protector on and ready for the quick shot in the bush. Once found an animal at distance, time to put the brake on. The point of impact change with it on or off is not significant at 250 yards (is only 1.5" high and 0.5 to the Left with it off).

Put one of Dean Maisey's Quatromax, fitted by Robbie at Gunworks. Dont let anyone tell you that you need a directional brake, maybe on a larger caliber, but certainly not on a 270WSM.

Ill dig out some photos and video of it in action.

Or get the Varimax QC and have no point of impact change with the brake open or closed! ;-)

If I did it again, I would be running one of these Varimax QC too.
