About LinkBacksIs threading a Savage 99 for a suppressor sacrilege?
I got one in 243, it's the E model so no ammo counter or fancy foreend, not sure of age.
Worth doing?

that's why I'm torn
I'm of the "SUPPRESS EVERYTHING" mindset, centrefires, rimfires, even my shotgun, but this is the oldest candidate I've had to consider

Don’t ask me, I think putting a suppressor on any rifle is silly. Pardon? What’d you say?
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

Its yours, do whatever suits you, I'm not a great suppressor fan but I've threaded/otherwise modified rifles that would make others scream - I just say "well that makes the rest of them more valuable, so if you own one, I'm doing you a favour!"

i'm inexperienced with 243 but figured it would can about as effectively as a 308, which is generally worth doing, right?

Had both suppressed and have to say the 243 has a pretty nasty crack but maybe less boom than the 308, neither are particularly quiet full powered with a suppressor. Originally Posted by SoL

Depends on condition. If it's drilled and tapped or otherwise complete.
