[QUOTE="Pete Lincoln, post: 99723, member: 2245"] I would say that the damage caused by a high velocity rifle shot to your own hearing should be the most important reason for moderating a rifle, look at all the old stalkers, they are all deaf. If you don't protect your hearing in some way, each and every rifle shot is a step nearer bieng deaf, the easiest, best and most effective way to protect your hearing whilst shooting is to use a moderated rifle, it protects your hearing, that of your dogs and prevents noise pollution. If none of that was an issue, we'd all wear ear defenders when driving and the exhaust industry would be dead. James, 20". you could go back to 16 depending on twist rate and what bullet weight you want, overall length could become an issue. 20 is a good balance between short and handy and enough velocity.
