Yet another good Saturday stocking!  1st buck shot at 9.00am   Then on my way to the range to try some new home loads for my 6.5x55 I saw another buck standing in the lane in front of me!  So not wanting to be gready I phoned my mate who had been out with me in the morning to get his .308 round and quick! and the result was  then when we got to the range we meet the guys who have hem game rights of are ground an they told us they had a problem on there farm with big Red stags doing damage and could we help!  | ||

Very nice, congratulations! Question if I may... why the silencer? I'm not familiar with your approach to hunting and have been wondering about them for a while. You may or may not know they're illegal her in the USA. Thanks, Brad  | |||

we use silencers because it makes a 308 sound like a 22mag! they reduce recoil aswell. yes they are ugly and add wieght to the gun but it saves my ears and on the ground I shoot on there are a few houses near by and I dont want to upset them with gun fire at 6.00 am. | |||

Even though I am Swede and not US I know that Silencers are not forbidden, in some states yes but not in all or the whole of the US. They are a Class III item though and will cost you a good bit of change for the stamp for them. Anyways, 308mate good shooting and some fine game there, I sure hope things will be like that when I come to visit in the spring. Best regards Chris

Brad: The British are much more civilized than we Yanks when it comes to some things (and pointlessly bureaucratic on others). Americans regard sound suppressors as tools of gangsters or spys, believing that they do away with all noise of the report. Because of that association, they were classed as restricted along with fully automatic weapons and short-barreled shoulder guns in the 1937 GCA. State game departments almost universally outlaw them for hunting, even if you own one legally, on the theory that they are a poacher's tool. The British, on the other hand, recognize that there is no sense in disturbing everyone in the countryside (which can only lead to further objections to hunting) with the booming report of a centerfire rifle. Appropriately, they've never regarded suppressors ("moderators" they usually call them) as anything but a tool for dampening objectionable noise. | |||

Strangely though not all British police forces will issue variations for a moderator for those reasons. The dead cert way to get one is to say that you want it to protect your hearing and they dare not risk a refusal for fear of litigation. | |||

I saw that buck at about 6.50 am, from a farmer"s backyard. He was already up and gone, and his family were still in bed. I shot the buck about 7.10 from the feild behind the house, and the family never heard a thing. Our buck season starts on Aug 1st, when it"s daylight at 4.30 am. I have shot deer in the early morning, in sight of houses many times(hard to get out of sight of a house here!) and the occupants are blissfully unaware! I carried my 308 in Canada a month ago, and it was a joy to carry a rifle without the weight and imbalance of a suppressor, but they are very useful here. good shooting | |||
