[QUOTE="manitou, post: 2461101, member: 105280"] I think it is a fad for "cool factor" for many, much like DBMs and tacticool stocks, attached accessories, etc. Tried DBMs. Ruins the balance point where I like to carry a rifle. I can see their value for competition though. Have shot suppressed rifles of friends... not for me. Personally, I try and keep my rifles as light as possible with the componants I believe will make it as accurate and shootable as possible. I feel (for ME) an 8.5-9.5 lb rifle is a good combination for balance, accuracy, and aesthetics for Western hunting. I like a 25"-26" barrel for optimum performance within reason for hunting endeavors. A 6"-8" atrocity hanging off the end of the barrel is ugly and cumbersome... and adds weight Not my cup of tea. To each his own. Earplugs are much lighter and less obtrusive for me if I feel the need. [/QUOTE]
