Title: Killed 25 Rock Chucks Sunday, suppressed :-)
Post by: Jim the Plumber on April 09, 2012, 10:43:28 PM: Got the call, " I need the rock chucks gone". So I took my 6.5x47Lapua and my 223 Rem, both suppressed and put a hurting on them.
Saturday, I took my friend and let her get her first kill in. Used the 6.5X47 Lapua with a 100 grain BT at about 230 yards to shove this guy back into his hole!

I then went back Sunday and shot 21 with the 6.5X47L and 4 with the 223 Remington. 6.5 in the top picture, 223 in the bottom.

Yup, legal in WA. Makes them sound like a between a 22LR and 22 mag rifle. Several places in WA have them for sale.
RBros rifles is a distributor for Thunder beast, one of the better suppressors out there.
