Wanting you guys to check my math here on what i want and get some other recommendations if im not already on the right track.
I just sold a Dasher target rifle i don't shoot much anymore and have been wanting to up my quality of hog hunting rifles i have for myself and family that go with me. We hunt thermal suppressed at night and have 2 308s. One DD and one Larue, both heavy. I want to try a 6.5 creed in the V Seven rifle, if they are half as good as ive read than I should be happy as our biggest complaint is weight once you get a suppressor and thermal hooked on to these guns.
I want to stick with a standard caliber so opting for the V Seven Creed in 18" barrel. The Creed will be plenty for hogs and will be a little less recoil than a 308 being that this gun is 6.25 lbs complete.
I have a Omega 30 at 14oz and a 36M and want to cut weight and length to compliment this already light rifle. I don't know if the 36M in the short config would be an option as i believe thats more for pistols.
SO... read a lot of good about the TBAC Ultra 5 but also that it was still fairly loud for not wearing plugs...vs a ultra 7. Is the 5 not enough can for the Creedmoor realistically... The 5 vs 7 are both around 8oz which is great compared to my Omegas.
The ultra 7 might be my best bet.
What would you guys go with on keeping first and foremost Weight down and then secondary length. And still be a sound suppression acceptable compared to what i already have with the omegas? Sidenote: im very happy with the omega, just want to conserve Weight if i can with something else.
