    Yeah. I have a 452 17HMR (left handed of course) and have never shot it with the suppressor off.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    I had one of those too (and LH cause we're cooler). Damn thing was very noisy. Ended up putting a can on it and then promptly sold it. 223 was easier.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    And here are the results with the standard sights just shooting off my back pack at 25m with CCI Stingers (which it shot best with) group of ~15mm c2c. going to throw a cheap scope on to see if I can improve on that for bragging rights.

    It's possible. Did it have a Gunworks can?

    No. Threaded but no can. Can't have been you.

    Me too, the .223 was more versatile; I.e if you saw a deer.
