This thread is seriously mis-titled. Unlike brakes, I've never heard anyone complain about suppressors, only about the expense and trouble required to get one.
Both ranges I frequent require eye and ear protection at all times, regardless of who's shooting what. As far as I know, they're still illegal for hunting in my state, although I haven't checked lately. Those factors make a suppressor a waste of money for me. If I had a place to shoot where I could use one, sure, I'd take the plunge, even if just for plinking. My hunting rifles are already long, heavy, and bulky enough, so it's unlikely I'd add one to any of them for the couple of shots I take during deer season. They make a lot of sense where legal, on private land to help keep the peace with neighbors.
What fresh Hell is this?

Is a 270 with a suppressor OK or is that tacti-gay?

My 375 AI came with a recoil reducer. It works ok I guess. Luckily it is a screw on model. I just need to put thread protectors on and I'll set the recoil reducer in a drawer to be reused in the estate sale.
The good news is the barrel is threaded which means less expense with a suppressor.
But for me the suppressor will be best used on prairie dog rifles. Where my shooting buddies are nearby.
We all have our own shooting ranges so that's no issue.
The suppressor saves one's hearing. Only a complete idiot would want to destroy their hearing. But then Obama got elected twice -- there's a lot of idiots in this country.
I prefer classic.

Is a 270 with a suppressor OK or is that tacti-gay? Nope my BOSS 270 wears a can. Just screw off the Boss, screw on the can. (5/8x24) GemTech can is rated up to 300 WM, yet to find a BOSS 300WM for the same giveaway $ I bought the 270 M70 for.

I think most would be surprised really how easy it is to get into a suppressor if they actually looked into it. I waited a few years to even go talk to the local dealer and had my trust set up and ready to go by the next day. I bought 2 suppressors that day, one of which I got my stamp back about a month ago. Still waiting on the other and have two more that I just bought a week ago. Shooting suppressed really makes shooting that much more enjoyable! I guess folks are happy giving the government more money, I ain't one of them. If 200 hurts, you are in the wrong game... but I agree, I'm not happy about it, but I can look past some things. At least its not giving money to Ruger.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

I'd rather give money to Ruger for a product than the government for a privilege.
