    338LM Suppressor? Whats the one to get?

    Looking for a suppressor for my Savage 338LM. See a guy on tardme currently with the same rifle rocking a Dan Hardy one and gives them high praises. You guys reakon this would be my best option for a large magnum? Listed at $679 on his site. DPT don't currently make one suitable for it and my experience is minimal (only going as far as the ones that came with my 22lr and AR15).

    Cheers all

    Cheers for that.

    Also another question to add, can I use the 338 one on a 308 and 223 to reasonable effect as well?

    How loud are we talking? Fire without ear protection, and blood loss?

    Blood loss is not a good sign

    Ya VC, reckon it is safe to assume the target would be bleeding, probably even a gong !

    I think Niblet was kinda refering to the shooter bleeding from eyes, nose and/or ears

    Did you survive your trip with the coasters unmolested ? Report ?

    Price - you prob know what a new ones worth - make a sensible offer
    Photos - not with me, but condition is as new, cant remember it even having a mark on it
    Thread - not off the top of my head, but it is on a HS Precision HTR 338LM

    Will do some googling tomorrow for thread sizes. Be willing to give you $500? Just got to see if theres spare cash, was just probing for info in preparation.
    Flick up a photo if and when you get a chance. Might have to find something to sell
    Cheers Spanners
