Thanks for the information everyone, this will be her rifle but not where she starts. She has a small .22, I have a suppressed ar in 5.56 and 300 blackout. I went ahead and purchased the CVA scout threaded in .243 and fluted so we can run the suppressor on it also. She will slowly move from .22...
I have an AR in 5.56 and 300 black out that she can shoot also. She doesn’t like the loud noises so the suppressor is the way to go. I’ve been looking at the tikka as well, just a big price difference in something she may never shoot. I’m considering a more inexpensive rifle now then if she...
I am looking for a compact .243 for that is threaded for my daughter’s first gun that we can run my suppressor on. It will be used for whitetail and just family shooting. The only one I can really find is the CVA scout stainless which I’m very interested in. I really love the .243 for whitetail...
Recoil reduction is huge, accuracy typically improves, if I forgot my ear plugs no worries. I think you still run the risk of hearing damage even when wearing hearing protection. I would suppress every firearm I own if affordable and functional. Rifles are being offered in 18" platforms now I...
Well I own a suppressor, reduction in recoil, and reduction in damage to my hearing. The main reason is hearing protection. I like to practice with how I hunt. I have rifles that I cannot suppress due to not having threads and wear ear protection with all.
Thank you guys. I found the grayboe Phoenix that has the shape I like and is 2lbs. From what I have seen that is medium on the weight. My factory stock is 1 lb 12oz so only 4oz heavier.
Thank you all for the input, it really helps. Now to decide if I stick with the 30-06 caliber or go another route. I will most likely do exactly as 204 is saying. This will help me keep my rifle light and save me some money for my scope. I’m looking at the HS precision stocks. I’m not sure why...
This is true, I have no experience out west besides reading a lot of forums and watching videos. I see very few over 300 yards unless they are shooting "long range". I plan to be as close as possible to the animal to decrease error and try to be as ethical as I can be. Thanks for your reply.
Thank you! I am not very knowledgeable of 30-06 rifles, this current remington 700 has a 24" barrel but is not threaded. To make this work comes with a new barrel or cutting current barrel down. I do agree I can load hot with proper load development and gain some fps. I have done a long time of...
I apologize if this has been asked multiple times. I have read the threads that seem similar and it has helped but I would like to get a more detailed opinion. I plan to build a dream rifle I have always wanted to do (new stock, new barrel, new trigger) even though it seems I would be better...
Yeah I do believe I’m going to work up a load with the 140 gr accubonds and see how they perform for me. I’m going to load the game kings up for my 7mm-08 that way I can still use one of my favorite bullets. I’m hoping even though the accubond is bonded for controlled expansion it still unloads...
