Thread: What's the pick of the lever action calibers?

All of these have minimal felt recoil too, so unless you're planning on poaching, the can isn't necessary.

I have tinnitus already. I don't want to make it worse. Its just how I feel about rifle noise report. I just prefer to have it suppressed.
