Maybe one day soon suppressors will be sold in blister packs next to the skittles in the checkout line at cabelas. It's basically the only thing Europe gets right on gun laws.

I can feel it in the back of my skull from here.

I detest muzzle brakes. Gimme the recoil.

HaHa! One of my deer hunting handguns is chambered in 284 Win w/ a 16" barrel w/ a muzzle brake. I was excited to put a suppressor on it. Unbraked, the recoil and muzzle jump were significant. I couldn't hunt in a stand unless it had pretty tall window openings. OTOH, when it was braked, there was no muzzle rise, but the muzzle blast was really rough. You had to have your hat on tight and nothing else on the shooting table or it'd all blow away. W/ the Dead Air Nomad suppressor, it's very pleasant w/ little recoil and no muzzle rise.

Its going to be my kids/wife rifle and I need to test it out on some animals. An AR with a supressor is going to be excellent for them as long as i can convince myself the terminal performance is acceptable.


Ok, I'll allow that. :nana:I've even got a deer load for my 22 Nosler handgun, but I've not been brave enough to try it yet. I'm just cautious w/ 22 caliber guns for deer hunting even w/ appropriate bullets. My load uses the 62 gr TTSX. I've not yet choreographed this load.

Whats the muzzle velocity on that goofy thing?

My 260 is one of my favorite deer hunting guns and now you're hurting its feelings. :booboo: Using Athlon chronograph, I get 2600-2700 fps w/ 120 gr bullets and 2900 fps w/ 100 gr bullet. I've never retrieved a bullet.

They are niche big game cartridges, where the older small bore stuff (.22-250, .220 swift, .223, .243, .260
etc) are all varmint cartridges or generally poor big game cartridges with slow twist barrels for sending lightweight bullets as fast as possible.

Ouch :wah: Don't tell my 260 Remington XP handgun it's a varmint cartridge or generally poor big game cartridge. I've killed 7 deer w/ it using120 gr bullets and one w/ a 100 gr TTSX bullet. I don't know if I've ever disagreed w/ you before, but I'm compelled to this time while defending my 260 Remington. :dude:

Too bad he made poor choices in hiring coordinators. Makes you think that Freeman was responsible for a lot of stuff in his final years at ND

I've thought for a while that Denbrock may've been involved in some of his decisions at ND, as well. If so, once Denbrock was gone, that'd also account for some of his bad coaching decisions here.

At 65, with millions in the bank

why coach? we all only have so much time left on this planet...

If I had millions, I would shut down my business and find something else to do

clients are difficult to please

so are players and fanbases

My son went to the A&M game. After BK was fired, I texted my son, "How does it feel to have seen the previous active coach w/ the most wins coach his last game?" I've thought all alone he wouldn't return to coaching. Knowing folks who are a little older than him, I've seen how difficult it can become to have the energy to go to work every day, but especially for a job that's very stressful, competitive and requires a high level of energy. I don't think he has that in him anymore. OTOH, I'd not be surprised to see him take a job in the media. I don't think he's ready to sit at home full time. I've not read the contract, but I've heard that taking a job other than coaching (for example in the media) would be a mitigating factor for the remaining pay out to him that LSU is accountable for.
There are times I'm doe hunting and when I am, I work hard to avoid shooting a button buck.The best way to avoid shooting a button buck is shooting a doe w/ young ones. I've killed two button bucks that were supposed to be does and I felt bad both times. Having said that, I won't shoot a fawn, but I don't remember ever seeing a fawn when deer hunting. I'm also very about shooting a "lone" doe, since that lone doe is frequently a button buck. Having said that, the deer I shot a few weeks earlier during the Arkansas Alternative Firearms Season was a lone doe. I'd seen her many times on the game camera and also inspected her closely at 50 yards w/ 7X binoculars before pulling the trigger.

Given those parameters, I have no qualms harvesting a doe. For me to kill a buck, it's gotta be one I'll mount or a bad set of antlers that should be removed from the herd.

IMO I really only need 3 calibers to hunt and plink just about anything, .22lr, 5.56, 300prc.

That's an arsenal that would cover the needs of most hunters. :bow: OTOH, I take 4 handguns w/ me when I go on a prairie dog hunt. Those that hunt w/ me would agree I'm not like "most hunters." :lol:

For the record, my pd guns are: 17 Remington Fireball, 20 VarTarg, 223 Ackley Improved and 22 Nosler. One of my pd hunting buddies is building a 22 Nosler for pd hunts, but it's not done yet. I'm hoping to see it in action next spring.

re: Suppressor Question

Posted by TigerOnThe Hill on 11/14/25 at 9:32 pm to
Welcome to the wonderful world of suppressors! Although this will be your first suppressor, I doubt it'll be your last. :lol: I started out planning to buy 1, a rimfire and a 30 cal. Now I've got 2 rimfire, soon to be three 30 cals and two 556 cans. I don't have any of your finalists, but I have some others. What'll you'll find is everyone's usually gonna recommend the suppressor and that's natural. After you've researched it, spent money and waited (one year for one of mine) you're going to recommend what you bought. Having said that, I recommend my Dead Air Nomad L. I don't recommend my SilencerCo Harvester 300, but it's been discontinued. I'm waiting to take possession of the Otter Creek Polonium 30. I like, and can recommend, my other cans as well for anyone who's interested: SilencerCo Spectre II (discontinued), SilencerCo Sparrow, Yankee Hill Machine Turbo K-RM and Otter Creek Polonium 556. I agree w/ the rec to do your independent research, esp w/ Pew Pew Science. I didn't do adequate research when I bought my Harvester 300 but instead I relied on the recs of the salesman. Keep us updated.

I think not. Perjury or or lying to the FBI or something actually. She did not technically inside trade.

She woke up and took me by the hand
She's gonna love me in my Chevy van and that's all right with me
