Do you have a "planned" purpose for the rifle, or just want a quiet rifle?
That may alter ones opinion?
At this point I'm thinking:
1. Suppressed/Subsonic predator control around the flock & farmyard.
2. Suppressed deer rifle (stalking, wooded stand-sitting, small-statured shooters).
3. Unsuppressed deer/woods defense, "nuclear" .45LC loads approaching entry-level .45-70
I have a suppressor that's rated for .45 Colt/ACP, .300BLK subsonic, & 10mm Auto - but not .45-70 in any flavor. Currently it's living on a 9mm carbine, which is only legal for #1 & it's not great even there.
