[QUOTE="sigmatero, post: 244579, member: 9614"] Question for you guys… I’m wanting a quiet backpack gun for when I go archery hunting and muzzleloading since I often see coyotes and bobcats and would love to pop them but don’t want the noise. I plan to build a .338 Spectre (subsonic 300 gr SMK) that should be good out to at least 200 yards. I’ll be using a suppressor. Weight, but more importantly compactness, is a concern. I’m thinking of a Contender pistol with a 15” barrel and a scope. This will also let me use the handgun for silhouette shooting if I ever decide to try that. I’ve never hunted with a handgun. How *practical* is it? I’m use to shouldering a rifle and firing. Is a handgun accurate out to 200 yards for small game or does it take a lot of practice (silhouette, etc) to get there? Or is there a practical way to rest the handgun while hunting? Any other tips to get what I’m after? Thanks. Joa [/QUOTE]
