A suppressor helps more than any brake or compensator.....
What are you carrying and why?
- Thread starter giles
- Start date
For the $ I just saw on the suppressors, I will just wear ear protection. I'm just using it to shoot deer.

Oddly enough, I don't know....yet.
I put it on 2 years ago and never made it back out to the rifle range to test it. I should've though, because there could be a point of impact difference. Not highly likely, because of my experience with my 243, which never changed anything....just projected the sound away from me. I will shoot it before the end of the Deer Gun Season.....if for no other reason, but to hear it.
To each their own but the deer feeding within 10 feet of the doe i got tonight never reacted to my shot and my ears never rang. 'tis a beautiful thing
When old uncle stops the whole stamp debacle, I’ll get one. Until then, Fack the man!
The 450 arrived and I mounted the scope
Ruger American GEN-2 I have not shot it but will soon
First impressions, I like the 3 position safety I have bumped my bolt in the past and had the gun not fire.
I like the stock it has adjustable pull and cheek pad.
The 3 lug bolt seems smooth and it cycles well.
I like that the magazine doesn’t hang down 3 inches like the 350 legend
If it shoots as accurately as the 350 I am sure I will like this gun.
The turret on the Luopold scope says specifically 250 grain bullet at 2200 FPS my 350 scope doesn’t specify bullet weight or speed.
I guess I will just have to test that once it is zeroed

First shot, first kill. Brought home a doe a couple nights ago, thanks to the new 350. 60 yards, broadside… took out both lungs and the top of the heart. Entry and exit holes, solid blood trail. The kids and I tracked her in reverse yesterday and were able to locate the bullet which was buried in the ground. Very pleased with the performance of this Barnes bullet. It did exactly what it was designed to do.

I took a shot with the new linear compensator, while standing along the edge of a woods. Usually, the woods would enhance the shot sound and make it worse, so this was a good test. I'll have to say that it is 100% better than the factory muzzle break!
Having the ports on the end of the break makes all the difference in projecting the sound/blast away from the shooter. 
Well worth the money!
What else is there?You going to wear jeans and 80s vintage army surplus camo, too?
Good call! I'll stop when I go out later. I gotta be kind and rewind before I go to Blockbusters. That also reminds me, I gotta get Faygo.
You know what...just for you I'm gonna where bread bags on my feet tomorrow. Back to the basics! Lmao
