Supressor on front will help too. Though that's not really where my concern lies. Im more building a rifle because I do a hell of a lot more carrying and walking than I do shot firing nowadays. I'll tolerate not seeing the hit.

    That's what I thought, the only issue I see with a 257 calibre is the somewhat narrow projectile range especially of the high BC type , I had a Mauser Kurz in 250-3000 with a modern twist rate and it was great but @nor-west got down on it
