I enjoy quieter shooting rifles, even with good ear protection. Another advantage is less noise causes less concern among the neighboring landowners, and is also more pleasant for anyone else who may be with me when I am varmint hunting.

My two favorites are the .221 Fireball and the .250 Savage with lighter loads using the 75 gr VMax bullets. Very pleasant shooters.
