Form 1 suppressor build
JimP:
--- Quote ---The big change was in how pleasant the rifle was to shoot. This is a heavy rifle with a thick recoil pad, so recoil was mild to begin with. Now it's a pussycat. The reduction in noise was the best part. I wouldn't consider it hearing safe, but it made shooting it much more enjoyable.

I eventually want to put a supressor on the "The Kids' Deer Rifle" (a Ruger Frontier in 7-08) for the same reason ...... Right now, I make reduced loads for it (139 and 150gr bullets @ 2300-2400 f/sec) ..... I'd eventually like to run heavier bullets (Speer 160 BT and mayber 168 Bergers) when they get older ......
Chris C:
I like the finish on that stock. How much did the stock run you?
bkoenig:
It was $220 from Red Hawk Rifles. I offset half of that by selling the crappy Hogue stock that came with the rifle on evilBay. The finish is just Krylon Fusion, but I'll probably duracoat it at some point.
Chris C:
That's cheap. I'll have to look more in to those stocks. I would love a McMillan A4 but man that's a lot of money.
bkoenig:
I was very impressed with this stock for the money. It's solid, if you ran out of ammo you could beat something to death with the giant hunk of fiberglass. It has a steel bedding block that runs all the way past the front sling swivel, so it's not going to flex at all. I bedded this one with acraglas to really lock everything down.
