I am going to have a new hog rifle built and I need some advice. I would like to have the rifle silenced, semi-auto, caliber larger than .22 and easy to mount accessories like laser lights and night vision scope. Was thinking about an AR platform. I have used a friends silenced 358win and the cartridge was very effective. However it was bolt action and you have to handload for it. Also, I see some companies who load subsonic ammunition like .308. What companies are out there for loading subsonic? | ||

You should consider sending a PM to the Tactical Hog Control guys who post here. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

Yeah, sounds like you need to ask people like: http://www.jagerpro.com/photogallery.aspx They use equipment like you describe. | |||

You might consider doing a 300 whisper on an AR platform. Easy to do subsonic. Check out La.'s regs for owning suppressors. Best GWB | |||

Louisiana does not allow use of suppressors but Miississippi does. And I hunt in MS quite often. I think I am giving up on the suppressed idea anyway. The loss of range and energy is too much. | |||

Jeff, There are suppressors out there that permit the use of full power loads and are still less volume than a .22Rimfire. The problem is they are almost cost prohibitive. The newest Aries system will cost more than your rifle and scope combined and it may take a year or longer for your paperwork to go through. I am not as interested in suppressed as I used to be. I am now into shooting them from as far away as possible. I have a friend that regularly shoots pigs 1000-1340yds. He says they have no idea what just happened.

You have to realize that you are most liekly not going to get "Hollywood Quiet" suppressed rifles. I have an Ops Inc. 12th model ordered to go on my AR. If I had a bolt action rifle to put it on I would use a 308 Winchester. Contact Tip Burns at Canyon Sporting Arms in Canyon Lake Texas. As his opinion. Rusty We Band of Brothers!
