I mostly hunt with bolt action rifles, and I don't currently have a gun that is threaded for a muzzle device. So in all honestly I am not looking to purchases a suppressor right this second, but I have been seriously mulling over some potential gun builds that would be optimized for a suppressor, not just something that gets thrown on as an afterthought.The one I am really cranking on in my head is a SBR with a suppressor for still hunting Roosevelt elk and Blacktails. I generally have enough time to get my ear protection in for the kind of mule deer and bear hunting I do, but still hunting its not often an option.I know I am a very particular person, especially when it comes to mechanical things like guns. But I really feel that for high adoption rates in hunting we need some suppressor options that integrate so well to the gun you forget they are even there.Quote from: dreadi on January 26, 2021, 07:12:58 AMI don’t have anything like that on hand.

Those are all great points and as time goes on I believe that we'll be seeing more use of suppressors in hunting partially due to firearm manufactures responding to the consumer base requests for factory threaded barrels on bolt actions to be a more common standard. Of course there are other factors that can lead to wider adoption as well. For anecdotal evidence, I have one customer that hunts with a 10" bolt action .308 and has his loads dialed in with his suppressor to the point that's he taking big game annually with it. So in addition to being a good hunter, he's a good marksman. 400yds is not an issue for him to accurately shoot with that setup.You may be interested in what AMTAC has to offer https://amtacsuppressors.com/ for over the barrel suppressors.

Somewhere around 14" total barrel length would be fantastic.I seriously think a gun like this would have wide appeal. Not just rain forest people on the west coast, but all those mid west whitetail hunters in tree stands.Any idea how he loaded to optimize for the short barrel and can? I am guessing a fast burning power?
I have a 28 Nosler and 6.5 Creed that I would likely use this most for. Is there one for all and all for one? I find it so odd that i have never really given any thought to this until now..
It's a 13" barrel chambered in 308 win. 1/7 twist and I use a sico harvester. Easy first round impacts @587yds (Where the plate is hung)I typically shoot monos so I'm using the 165gr lazer from CEB and Varget. Lapua brass of course and it's mag fed.
I misspoke. It's a 13" barrel. Here's what he had to say. It's a 13" barrel chambered in 308 win. 1/7 twist and I use a sico harvester.
