[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 2649419, member: 11960"] That wouldn’t be an inaccurate interpretation of my comment. I had two suppressors back around 2009-2012 or so, an FA762 and an FA338. They were a fun novelty at best. The noise reduction was good, but I still wouldn’t consider the rifles hearing “safe” with supersonic ammunition. Recoil reduction was OK, but not as effective as a quality muzzle brake. I consider 22” to be a long barrel on a hunting gun, so adding 6” or more to an 18-20” barrel is excessive. I didn’t see a worthwhile return on my investment. I hunt with a guy who runs suppressors on all of his comp guns, and the first thing he does every hunting season is take that paperweight off the end of his barrel so he can actually move around in the woods.
