    I understand you personal view here, but as you are out hunting 4x a week or so you are in a very different position to someone who only goes out once every 6 months to try to get a deer for the...

    DPT ones have a plastic insert that can be bored out to suit your barrel for an over barrel one. I have a DPT and a Gunworks both are good and both are overbarrel

    We run a mixture of suppressors here dpt mae hushpower, all seem to work. Although we dont own anything in 30cal we run 30cal suppressors so they will fit any of our rifles. I doubt you'd be able to...

    You shouldn't get powder and gasses in your face if the bush isn't the right size unless its a suppressor that doesn't have an isolator tube, I haven't seen one of those in a very long time and I...

    This from the first post: So, to the doubters- What would it take for you to be convinced that a .223 with heavy for caliber (73-88gr) bullets is a LEGITIMATE deer hunting cartridge? I think the...

    I don’t think many are saying that a 223 with heavy bullets is not doing a good enough job. I do think plenty are saying a bit more weight and some more velocity is better.

    Approaching a likely looking spot I slow, inching forward on my stomach and pushing the 243 out front so it could have a look around, I could see, but only just Binos in hand I peered into the...

    woods223 liked post by Ross Nolan On thread : A question for the doubters
    The next time I shoot a deer or pig with the 7x65 while out pheasant shooting I'll remember this and realise how wrong I am. Carrying a separate rifle is so much more convenient. There are many...

    I don't think Daniel Boone said that though....Daniel Boone had lots of rifles, but the indians kept taking them off him... I love the .223 and all kinds of rifles. I was out shooting a flintlock...

    Speaking of cost. The great thing about the bigger calibers is - you dont need to use a new premium projectile to achieve the same result. A good old cup and core will do exactly what the new 22...
