I think I'll be in a variety of situations hunting wise, from the tops to dense bush and farmland going after most things that move. I'm not sure how accurate this Rem 700 is but at $450 incl Bushnell 3-9x40 it felt rude not to purchase haha. Synthetic stock, NOT the faulty triggers (I think they were XMPs). Blued

Any thoughts as to whether I should get a suppressor?

yes all my early years shooting no suppressor and am now deaf as a post well damn hard of hearing for hunters great invention - gives one confidence not worrying about the noise they really do make you a better shot - can concentrate on the shot end of story
