    If it’s for the bush then you’ve probably got better options, if it’s for the tops (which is where I use mine) the extra length isn’t an issue. You can comfortably shoot out to 7-800y and at that range taking the time to put on your suppressor isn’t an issue. Anything under 300 and your POI won’t change enough to matter so your good for any quick shots.
