Just bucked some firewood with an 881 magnum, no hearing protection.
15 yrs ago, helping a 50 cal gunner clear a jam in mosul, fkn thing went off near a wall. Ears were ringing for at least 10 hrs.
We are american men, and we are replaceable. These beta male manginas who think they need a suppressor on a fkn hunting rifle........embarassing.
Last "new age" rifle i bought, went straight to the fairbanks, Ak gunsmith to cut those stoopid threads off the barrel. Best $40 I ever spent. Yepđ

Makes it handy if you don't want everyone in the country to know what you're up to. Also handy as fugg if you want to kill several critters in one sitting. I just wish they offered threaded barrels as an option.

I took a step back from buying guns for a few years, I come back and MRC is gone, 84M, Ruger Hawkeye, Remington, the Field craft... maybe it's time to take up golf. So it's you then... You killed them....

Wish I used a can earlier in life and hearing protection.
Very hard hearing in the right ear and many nights they ring so bad I can't sleep. Literally keeps me awake all night.

Were "cans" readily " available to make a difference? Nope...
Chainsaws, mill work and lotsa huntin, wouldn't a made a difference. But boy, they sure look cool nowadays.

I have no use for a can on a Montana with a 22â barrel. However, a can on the end of a 16.5â or 18â light weight rifle is utopia. If Kimber made threaded 16.5â 223 Montana theyâd have to shut down pistol production to fill backordersâŚâŚ.
Thatâs exactly what I did with the one. I bought from you, chopped to 17â threaded it and went to town. Great walk around varmint/ hog gun

Thatâs a good question. Who the hell buys an ultralight rifle and then puts a can on it? Idiots. Thatâs who.
Could never understand adding an additional 7 or 8 in. and an additional 8 or 9 oz. to the muzzle end of a Montana or other lightweight rifle. Kind of both defeats the purpose and really messes up both the looks and ergos of the gun. A can would be a big hindrance.

Even the 22â barreled ones make great suppressor host for hunting rifles in the field or even if only for load work ups.

When they havenât tried it they cannot know. Only have a blind opinion based on emotion. Not experience
I give zero craps about the aesthetics of a rifle for hunting
Purely form and function. Suppressors add to this when done correctly. Not subtract
If I was hunting from a hunting shack Iâd invest in a nail and a pair of ear muffs. If your hunting from a shack balance will matter even less. Set the rifle on a rest with a can on it easy peasy. Thereâs a reason that you see cans in common use even on stalking rifles all over the world from Africa to New Zealand to Great Britain and all other places that they are commonly available. Would you take the muffler off of your car and where muffs to quiet it down? Why deal with noise and muzzle blast that isnât necessary especially for load development or hunting out of a blind or stand where balance is a nonissue. Scopes add weight and negativity affect balance to but most of us wouldnât be without those either on a serious hunting rifle.

I wish they made a 223 Montana with the barrel profile and length like the one on my Adirondack in 300 BO. And do it in a 7 or at least an 8 twist. My 300 bo has a hammer flare on the end so it has a shoulder to seat a can against.
