I would say there are two minor drawbacks to it. Its quite expensive for what it is and the very small front end means there's not much hand room, It could make things a little difficult if you need to move quickly for a close range fast moving deer. I am going to install a foregrip that doubles as a bipod to correct that though

    They were all company vehicles, it has a muzzle brake and 16inch(?) barrel so when the suppressor is whipped off it shakes the place. I think the guy said that its 11k for the rifle setup.

    Damn that is a lot. You would want good hearing protection but I bet it was fun though.

    it was supposed to be shortened and threaded for the suppressor i bought but it seems that service is not a word familiar with local gunsmiths, after two weeks and a maybe it'll get done in the next week after being promised "it'll only be a few days" i took it back.

    Yes but Pointers always like to lead from the front. According to KG, to say it is loud is an understatement but he also said brake is very effective. Roll on next week so I should actually have it in my hands
