I'd hate to break it to her, but with those hips, she couldn't have more than 6 or 7 children

Ya don't wanna get Munson'd out there in the middle of nowhere.

Mods: This is a very interesting, informative thread, and several other conversations have arisen from it, some also quite informative.

Could the spin off conversations about non 223 cartridges and rifle systems and such be moved to their own thread?

Thought I’d add to this: decided to carry my ar loaded with some 77s on a recent pig hunt where I wasn’t too worried about taking a shot or not and was given an opportunity at a running shot after my friend took the initial shot at the feeding herd. The 77 did great work and the pig died right there despite less than ideal shot placement

My was the brown one, the black one was shot with a 120ttsx from a 7mm-08 and ran about 50 yards

For you tikka 223 guys... what is the best/favorite budget suppressor to dedicate to your 223/tikka/6xswfa combo? Anything Under 10oz, less than 8 inches long, and under $600?

I'm just using my 30 cal can.

There isn’t one that is less than 10oz that meets your other desires.

I haven't used one yet, but there is the Griffin Optimus Micro. I bought one in July and expect I still have a long time before it comes into my possession with the rate eforms are being approved. It will be louder than larger suppressors though.

I Google it... and came up with a wyoming arms 4 squared and 5 squared ti suppressor, 4 and 5 oz respectively. Fits the bill price wise... just don't know how they would do on actual suppression. I read they claim to reduce 20db on a 300win. Anyone tried one on a 223? Anything else comparable?

Here you go, from today, my brother’s stainless T3 Varmint.

Kinda cold, 38F, which might explain the difference in velocity between our rifles.

Happy?

Daaaaaamn! I stand corrected! Those are some impressive numbers.

They are suppressors in name and legality only. Bluntly there is no way I would shoot one without ear pro on any CF. Legit supports that reduce the sound to hearing safe for impulse are going to be around 10oz and 6-8” long, and over $600. The least expensive one I have used that is actually a functional can is the JK Armaments one that is $450’ish and I think 11oz. It is a usable can.

Do you have opinions on the SilencerCo Harvester? How does it compare to the JK?

It’s a fine can.

This is one that comes very close to what you are looking for. https://www.silencershop.com/catalo...ategory/1/id/6172/s/silencerco-harvester-evo/

As Form stated, it is a fine can. It is good for what it is for, which is bench work or hunting. I have one of the original Harvesters and it works very well on my hunting rifles.

 

[Stu]

Yep, mistake on your part
Swap the rings around so the one without a hole goes at the front allowing it to move forward to the front of the dovetail
The ring with the hole goes over the rear pin

I'm an idiot. Thanks!

Stu I thought you were trolling us with those photos

I didn't call you an idiot, but I did make the suggestion 30ish posts ago

I was so confused when I saw the picture with the based pushed forward up against the pin.

For those who are confused, see 1:01.

 

[SteveAndTheCrigBoys]

Was considering a Harvester for it's price...ended up going with a Nomad Ti. Have you shot that one?

I'll be using it on my .223 for yotes and cats, I imagine the suppression amount is less with a smaller diameter projectile through a .30 cal can.
