My cousin got one of the early SS BDL 30-06 rifles that Remington put out in the first part of the 90's. He won't use anything else and has killed a lot of really good bucks over the last 25 years, near and far. All his needed was a trigger tweak and boxes of Federal Premium Gameking 165 ammo. Now with even more aplomb

It came with a thread protector anyways, so no big deal there. Was quite pleasant to shoot though.

He wasn’t too picky after a couple days and decided he wanted to take this meat bull. 180yds kneeling using his shooting sticks. Dropped it like it got hit by a bolt of lightning.

OP Ptarmigan Campfire Regular Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 2,787 Anchorage	Originally Posted by pacecars I wouldn’t cut the brake off but would replace it with a suppressor It's just threaded on, so no big deal there. We wear hearing protection when we shoot, so even with it being there it's not a big deal. Keep them right around the neck so they're easy to put in. Generally speaking we have plenty of time to set up a shot. A suppressor would be nice if they weren't priced far higher than they should be, and dealing with getting a stamp. That whole process is BS.
