[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2310808, member: 94491"] You will loose velocity, suppressors don't really "gain " speed--- if you did a comparison of an 18" with and without a suppressor you might gain 15 to 20fps at most with the suppressor but don't count on a velocity gain of much of anything. Other thing to think about is what length of barrel the suppressor is rated for (check with manu)--- you should be ok with your cartridge, but its good to check. As the barrel length gets shorter, your muzzle pressure increases and suppressors have a "pressure max rating" that only the manufacturer can tell you what they say is safe. Also , check actual weights of barrels--- remember that carbon fiber is "lighter in weight over comparable barrel profiles"--- this doesn't necessarily mean a cf barrel is lighter than your steel barrel --- you might be able to loose more weight by changing optics or the stock. The factory weight of your rifle is 8.15 lbs ( pretty average weight) [/QUOTE]
