I recently bought a couple of RAR Predators, a 204 and a 6.5 Creed, both come with barrels threaded for suppressors. Unless you are hunting/shooting in an urban or suburban area, I can't see that the added value is worth the extra cost.
Can somebody explain this trend to me?
I am now totally deaf in my left ear and have only about 30-35% hearing in my right. I used to shoot a lot of hot-loaded 220 Swifts. No one used hearing protection in the 1950's and '60's and I (and many others) are paying the price. I now use high quality earplugs AND ear muffs to save what''s left. A suppressor sure sounds good to me.
