Looking for feedback and suggestions on a new rifle set up.

Serious question. What would be the criteria defining “ suburbia deer hunting “? How close would that be to actual homes and neighborhoods? I would assume that there are laws/regulations that would govern such an activity?

Yep, I’m sure that gets the neighborhood’s attention!

Short barreled 45-70 has a lil bark.

In South Carolina, you must be 300 yards from a residence unless:
1. You have written permission of all residents (and landowner, if a rental) within 300 yards, OR
2. Hunters are in a stand with footrest at least 10 ft above ground level, OR
3. Hunter owns the land he is hunting.

I only have one kid, so my Suburbia spots are deeded, "me and him as joint tennants with right of survivorship" so he can also hunt anywhere on those parcels and the land doesn't go through Probate when one of us dies.

Thanks. Sooo….if I’ m understanding this, I can put up a 12 ft stand and hunt 100 yards from the nearest residence ( #2 )? I must not be understanding those stipulations because that’s too close.

300 blkout with Barnes 110 tac-tx 250 is probably close to the end of effective range

If 12 ft is measured at the shooting rail, no.
If 12 ft high at foot rest, yes.

for suppressors The OG6 is bees knees for 22cal or 6mm (6Arc, 6x45, 6dasher, 6whatever). Trendy hotness seems like the latest OG22 would get you even quieter and if the obvious easy button of .223 isn't interesting enough for ya there's plenty of nifty 22cals going around these days. at those ranges there's no reason, actually there good reason NOT to go higher recoil, than ARC family. .223AI, BR, Dasher, etc...

I would pick a rifle that was an absolute laser to 100 yards

good reason NOT to go higher recoil, than ARC family. .223AI, BR, Dasher, etc

These are great points, OP. Only thing I can add is everyone's shared experiences on the forum with bullet selection priorities once you select a cartridge, is that the heavy, tipped match bullets make a big lethality difference.
