Hunting with supressor vs brake

[Robinhood21]

I thought the length of my supressor on my 26" 300RUM would be a pain but I never noticed it this past year in AK. I always carry my rifle in my hand though opposed to having it strapped to my pack or slung over my shoulder on a sling.

What are you meaning by “gets dirty and fouled” and what danger?

Again, I'm a novice. Just reading about guys getting carbon flakes in teh barrel and having issues. glad to hear it's not an issue. You're swinging me more and more towards leaving it on the gun and going hunting.

There are other threads about hunting with a suppressor, I’ve commented on many.

Ultimately, there are many reasons to run a suppressor and I won’t go out without one.

Yeah, it is not a thing that happens with frequency enough to worry about. Just shoot it.

Suppressed 100% of the time (at least if I can help it).

I used to use brakes. Now suppressed 100% of the time it is possible to do so. No more gun purchases until I have cans for everything.

I've seen one or two people get suppressors and say "meh, it's ok but I'm going back to brakes" and dozens that have said "I'll never go back and I'll carry the extra weight/length/expense happily."

The Banish 30 is better than nothing. Don't beat up on your purchase.

I’ve run a suppressor on my 26” ridgeline and although long it’s still worth it IMO.

I love the lack of punishment my ears take from a suppressor. Which I think is great for kids!

This was my first season hunting with a can and I won’t hunt without one now. In fact my entire hunting group is now getting them. It’s my favorite piece of shooting gear.

My kids starting to hunt is the exact reason I finally took the plunge.

I bought my first suppressor this fall after never being around one before. I haven’t had a chance to hunt with it but ive shot with it enough to know I never want to fire a rifle without one again. If you expect movie like performance you may be disappointed, however if you go into it a blank slate I think you will notice the positives immediately. I absolutely despise brakes and won’t have one on anything I shoot.
