Fuck PTR, get anything else at this point.

Can't go wrong with most cans on the market, but I like big volume cans for 99% of my shooting where size/weight isn't much of a concern. Sitting next to someone running 6.5cm through a TBAC338 vs. Banish 30 is more comfortable, and the recoil impulse of the TBAC338 gives you a nice warm fuzzy feeling.

Now if you aren't sure if "quietest" is what you should be concerned about, know that people underestimate the difference of an extra 8-12+ oz on the end of a lever when moving quickly.. And when you are swinging that sword trying to get into positions quickly, the added diameter also becomes a lot more of a factor.

I still vote TBAC338 personally, but I dont know if its actually the best option for OP.

Well…you could come to MS! (There are nice areas and lots of deer, but probably too far from you..) Rural land (near Jackson

) with pine trees and some open acreage, on a creek, one tract with a lake, private water company, and electricity just appraised for between $2200 to $3200/acre for 130 to 500 acre tracts. The higher end price has the lake and more mature trees. General advice, have it surveyed (believe it or not that isn’t required, at least in MS), have a title search done (I was surprised at what they found), be aware of the “class” of the neighbors and political situation. (Imagine Jackson area where they can’t afford to keep up the public water system in the capital city, let alone control violence or maintain roads!) if you don’t live there you really need a good honest neighbor.
If you talk to a rural land appraiser, they can tell you what they consider. For example, you want to hunt and lease out farm land. Does it have hogs?
Also any environmental hazards? Past usage may have had a creosote plant, or dumped farm chemicals.
How much of it floods?

Watching this happen in my personal sphere is what has really rocked me. I thought I was aware, but I really didn’t fully believe the people I know were that murderous and callous. My siblings are in that group.

I’m sure I’m in the minority, but I’d rather see life in prison. Partly becasue I don’t think death is as severe a punishment as a lifetime of incarceration, but also because I believe that it’s not our place to take a life without the immediate need for self defense.

I see it this way, if left alive in prison he has time to turn to Christ and be saved.

This is actually very rational thank you for sharing that thought.

Yup that’s why I asked him the questions I did instead of screaming out suppressor names. People get hung up on “quietest” as the most important. It’s not.

How "quiet" a suppressor is super low on my priorities list in picking a suppressor. Most of the comparable suppressors sound close to the same. After application, quality and customer service/product support ranks the highest.

If speed is the name of the game, the fastest way to get on target and get the shot off is to use your primary optic. If you're having trouble finding the target, I'd suggest better use of magnification. Dial it down to get a wider field of view and more practice getting on target.

Me, I shoot with both eyes open all of the time, whether magnified or not. Up to about 10x or so and out to about 300 yards, I always seem to wind up about where I need to be.

What is your opinion of the PTR Vent 1 compared to the others mentioned? What about the CGS Hyperion?

The Vent 1 looks really interesting, I actually have one on it's way to my SOT

I'm totally all for educators being held to a standard, and to not spew hate about Kirk and his death, but, what the fuck are we doing cheering other lefties losing their jobs because they posted gross shit online? If the rolls were reversed here, the right would be having an absolute fit. It's just mirroring their behavior.

Conflagrating public assassination and losing your job because you publicly celebrated said public assassination is why we are here today. You are dumb, or evil if you believe they are the same. Your call.

Now you are moving the goal post. I would pick the suppressor for your application. "Quietest" suppressor would actually be lower on my list of what I would want in a suppressor. Most of them are going to be decently quiet. It's hard to tell a lot of suppressors apart, and there is a lot of tonal differences in them as well. Meter numbers are not the end all be all when picking a suppressor.

Yup that’s why I asked him the questions I did instead of screaming out suppressor names. People get hung up on “quietest” as the most important. It’s not.

Most notably, the thing they are doing that is "more" is taking off a notoriously tight factory tikka barrel without dinging up the action or barrel as many newbs do their first try at doing it by themselves. 3 of the 4 Smiths i referenced before had the job done in less than 6 weeks so not really longer than a made to order pre-fit in most cases. I've got a local guy that'll have it done in 1 week now. Manzella CNCs barrels but he still wanted a tikka action to measure first to make sure it's perfect, probably not necessary to get in spec headspace. The other minor thing that doesn't matter to me but might to some - timing the engraving. Tikkas aren't timed the same.

For lots of guys, they aren't going to be spinning many barrels on/off in the future to where the $200+ for barrel vice, action wrench, external action wrench (to break free factory barrel) doesn't really benefit them if they can let someone else who's not going to ding up their action handle it. I avoided needing that equipment for quite a while until it made sense. I can have a Benchmark or ACE blank "fitted" by a smith for $800 or less so most of the prefits i'd actually want aren't much of a savings.

Got off topic a bit here but generally i agree that pre-fit is an easy route to go. Just wanted to make sure a guy that wants to send his rifle in to have a barrel removed is aware that there isn't a real reason to limit himself to "pre-fits" for that application.

If his biggest issue is taking off the factory barrel then send it in. I just don’t want him thinking he is getting something more performance wise doing that than buying a prefit. They will take the blank and pop it in the CNC and make a prefit and screw it on.

For the next one or a caliber change or two then he can do it at home.

It’s easy for us middle aged folks to forget the easy athleticism that many active young men are unaware they exhibit.

Fuck that compassion and turning the other cheek shit at this point.

I case you haven't noticed, the left has:

Destroyed the Tea Party movement through government IRS audits
Called up deplorables and bitter clingers by a president who idolized weather underground terrorists.
Allowed their brownshirts in the form of antifa to burn our businesses and blame our whiteness for it and that we deserved it
Called for their supporters to get in our face and make us feel uncomfortable
Called us the biggest threats to democracy
Doxxed us and tried to force us out of our jobs because we saw LGBQT+ for the peversion that it is
Harassed and targeted people attending republican conventions after being funneled into confined spaces
Masked and doxxed and threatened with losing our jobs for failing to take an experimental "vaccine"
Tried and damn nearly killed Trump on the campaign trail
And now they have killed the man who only wanted to debate.

They are finding out that Alinsky's rules for radicals go both ways. They wanted a war. Well now they have poked the bear awake.

And to you I say directly, you must be beyond utterly fucking stupid and blindingly ignorant. The right WAS having an absolute fit over the decade or more this has been going on. Where the fuck were you? Have you just turned 18 and not realized this crap was going on? If you are a grown man, holy fuck, how the fuck did you miss that? Are you dumber than a bag of hammers?

Our civil discourse and protests and polite outrage changed nothing. It didn't work. It changed nothing and it got worse. They killed our figurehead who only wanted civil discourse.

With stupidity like that I have to wonder if you are even mentally competent to own a firearm. Fuck, you can even vote, and it's obvious you have no sense of the world we entered on 9/10.

Go stick your head in the sand elsewhere.

Waste of time and money and capability. Can build an AR in whatever flavor cheaper with actual follow up shots. Call of duty customization has got people's priorities all twisted up.

That was my first thought as well. That said unfortunately there are places where getting an AR to build can be problematic.

Ah yes, global warming, we are killing the earth so you must do all this shit and conserve and do backwards crap to reduce load on the earth. Meanwhile, we are going to create these massive data centers that create lots and lots of heat, possibly create more water problems and consume a shit ton of power where we will have to burn a shit ton of fossil fuels. So tell me again what this shit is about saving the earth? And yea they absolutely drink tons and tons of water. I work with an A&E firm that is currently working with private entities and local communities on how to provide enough water regionally, mainly for one of these massive centers. It’s almost a $1B project, all because we need more water and power and such cause you know saving the earth and shit.

Curious about this, where's it located and what A&E firm?
