I would admit to having a bit of trouble with the suppressed rifle to start with. With ear muffs on I pulled the trigger on a roo with the suppressed 243, misfired so I started pulling the rifle apart on the back of the truck. Everyone else questions what I'm doing with the rifle, so explain it didn't fire. Then I was pointed in the direction of one expired roo.

That would be awesome Gadgetman. I'll be back in town on Thursday for a while. What range? I was going to go to the NZDA public day on the Saturday and join up. That's hilarious about the 243. I can imagine doing that with my 22 and subs but a 243? Hah!

Suppressors need to be larger on the 270 than the 308? That changes things yet again! Can anybody confirm this? Thanks for the heads up username.
