    Half strength with cinnamon. Must be organic soy too. No joke.
    Missus had that asked of here doing barrista in OZ. Hubby just rolled his eyes and apologised when she walked away.
    Incredible.

    good on ya for sticking around and being big enough to dodge the flak........ some of us old farts use the mighty poohseventy and cop just about as much.... tomorrow Im going for bush stalk and will carry the 7.62x39mm the suppressor on it also works on my .308 and the .270 with equally as good results......look at it this way,you are putting a bigger muffler on your car,the pipe is still the same its just got a bigger chamber for gases/noise to bounce around in before exiting.

    @bmjms you must've been wondering what you've struck. As said before, any of the common calibers will drop a deer providing the shot placement on target is good, 7mm08 being no exception.

    It's a forum reflex to pisstake other peoples' preferred calibers at the drop of a hat. We sometimes do it a little too much....

    Welcome to the forum @bmjms, you have the gear to do the job. I use a 22 magnum suppressor on my 22lr rifle with subsonic ammo. The two loudest bits of taking a shot are the firing pin going click and the projectile going thud on a rabbit.
    He wnt need to worry about the "haters" as he didnt buy a Tikka.....


    All said in jest of course. Tikkas are good rifles too, just not my cup of tea.

    Cheers fellers. Nothing wrong with giving each other a bit of crap - keeps us all honest. It's just the slur in the likes of @kidmac42's first reply that I'm not so keen on
