Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles News for Suppressor Haters

When the really high-end makers start offering threaded rifles, perhaps they sense an exploding market?

Wait, What?! Even plebian American gunmakers introducing more suppressible models? Must be a fluke:

Ruger Introduces Hawkeye FTW Hunter Models
Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) announces the addition of the Ruger® Hawkeye® FTW Hunter to its line of Hawkeye bolt-action rifles. This new rifle was designed by working closely with the instructors of the Sportsman’s All-Weather, All-Terrain Marksmanship (SAAM) school at the highly regarded FTW Ranch in Barksdale, TX.

The Hawkeye FTW Hunter features a Natural Gear™ Camo, laminated wood stock and a stainless steel, cold hammer-forged barrel for exceptional accuracy, longevity and easy cleaning. The hinged, solid steel floor plate is engraved with the FTW Logo and allows for easy unloading of the rifle without the need to chamber each cartridge. Offered in seven calibers, including three left-handed options, the Hawkeye FTW Hunter is sure to be a popular choice among hunting enthusiasts.

Each rifle comes with the Ruger® Muzzle Brake System, which includes a removable, radial-port muzzle brake that significantly reduces felt recoil. For times when the brake is not preferred, it may be replaced by the included dynamically-matched muzzle weight. Switching between the brake and the weight will not change the bullet’s point of impact for a particular load. The included thread protector may be used if neither the brake nor the weight is desired.

Not sure about Germany, but use of suppressors in the UK has been De Rigueur for a number of years. Even on the high powered pellet rifles.

Picked up a gun rag while in London about 10 years ago. Got the impression that the suppressor was an over the counter type item, and highly encouraged.

Now, if we could just get Anschutz to import some Left Hand .22 rifles into the U.S. market. The 1416 AV T6M shown in the blog post above would interesting to play with in left hand.

Doubt there are many "haters" just folks, like me, that do not desire one.

And folks like me that wouldn't mind one, but have no desire to do the paperwork/trust/blood donation etc to own one.

This ----

Yep.

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.

I don't like giving the government money any more than the next guy but lifes too damn short. Suppressors are a ton of fun! $200 for the stamp is soon forgotten once you shoot with them a bit. To each his own...

Interesting how those who don't own suppressors "know" how much of a hassle it is to get one.

Once you get your trust setup (extremely easy), there is no hassle. Just wait a few months. Now I would love for it to be easier and not have to pay the $200 tax but it is what it is. All I know is they make shooting much more fun and hunting no longer requires ear pro.

Don't want to give back any of what you have taken from them?

Rick has it right. Easy and chump change compared to hearing aids.

Act quickly though as in a few months trusts will also require photos and fingerprints.

300 B/O with subsonics and a can, the most noise is the AR's action cycling

Well worth the $200 price of admission...

They're like pairs of Air Force Ones..... "You might not have three or four.... but you gotta have one man...."

The paper work isn't nearly as tough as it sounds. Maybe if you live in a firearm unfriendly state it could be different? It probably takes more time, research, and more wait time to order and receive a McMillan stock...

I sold a scoped rifle to free up some cash for a suppressor and have never once wished I had the rifle back, but every time I touch off a round suppressed I'm glad I made the move.

I haven't taken anything from them, you socialist SOB.

So in short, you can't tell me for sure that you wouldn't enjoy sucking cock until you've actually given it a go?

PlayStation bleed over. Never quite understood why loud guns are ok but quite ones aren't.

All this talk about these threaded rifles, I may just have to buy one of these POS things....
I don't know why all the hate on a threaded suppressed rifle...they're more accurate, better for teaching young kids to shoot,

If you guys are so worried about the weight, I suggest you spend a little more time hitting the gym instead of the keyboard.....

+10 but the suppressor haters can't hear you......

Many red states have legalized them for hunting.

Blue states hate them, deaf people make better Democrats.

Many countries mandate them for hunting as their socialist healthcare systems are burdened enough without more deaf people.

Suppose Steelhead will refuse Medicare and Social Security when he gets old enough ? (before the rant: most SS and MC receipents get far more back than they pay in.)

What ? Can't hear you !
