    I love my blackout. I had a laser like Howa 243, but it was too heavy (hogue stock) and doing a lot of meat damage with a small permanent wound channel (I think I've got that terminology right?). Most of my shots were in the 150m-250m range. I got the 300 Blackout and quickly noticed less meat damage but a bigger more lethal permanent wound channel (so more usable meat). I like the short action size, the short barrel (16"), and the ability to switch between supers and subs easily (dial to 6 on my scope gives me a 50m sub zero). I've shot alongside a suppressed 223 and the blackout was quieter.

    Once you understand the blackouts limitations it's a very useful package.
