Also, how much difference would you say suppressors make to the recoil of something like a 300wm? Heaps, I like shooting it with the break, I can shoot it all day long no worries and that with a bum shoulder. Suppressors are illegal in Aust so put a break on it.
And to your 308. The 308 isn't suppressed yet but don't have a problem shooting it repeatedly.

Surprising you hit anything with a loose rail!

Good skills, towards the end of my trip it was all close range stuff, I didn't suspect anything as animals were dropping where I had pointed, wasn't until I was packing up that I noticed it was loose.

If I was to take a trip into the Kawekas/Kaimanawas tops It would be a toss up between the Finnlight 7-08 or the 300wm with suppressor, the last couple of trips I did quite nicely with the 300wm
