[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 179465, member: 8843"] Eshell , I've been making and playing with silencers and for a little bit now and have found that unless your looking for absolute movie style quiet then subsonic isin't realy needed. , My 308 is quiet enough that at 50yds the round inpact at target is louder than the sonic crack , I did a bit of testing wtih me standing close to the target (1 gallon full jug) and had a buddy shoot it for 50yds away , while the report was able to be heard it wasen't nearly as loud as the impact , the noise level is on par with that of a regular 22lr being shot out of a 24" barreled bolt rifle. The 444 marlin would make a great gun for your needs , even with full house loads shot through well desgined can the hogs woulden't be any more spooked that if they were shot with a sub sonic load. I'm thinking about having an encore barrel chambered in 500S&W to load to sub sonic levels with a 500gr Hornady XTP. the barrel would be 14" with a 6" permanently attached silencer. this would be for "varmint" control is developed areas. Hogs a big time nusince animals down here. [/QUOTE]
