Have a nice day :-)

I dont own a single suppressor, never have and I have no intention of starting now. To me they look gawdy and cumbersome, the polar opposite of what I want in a hunting rifle.
I dont have a muzzle loader either. Nothing against them, its just not my thing. Big Grin

Have fun with the 338 Mate. It looks like a wicked rig!

I've used muzzle brakes and they work great but I really don't like them for their added noise.

Suppressors on the other hand are the freakin' bomb. I LOVE to shoot a rifle with one on it and carry it on the end of my rifle into the field every chance I get.

Calling coyotes is where I really saw the advantage. Several times I've called and shot one, kept calling and shot another a few minutes later.

Yep, where legal they're worth their weight in gold! IMHO. (your opinions are very valid for YOU so no argument from me).
