Suppressing a .375?

[Betterinthebush]

I find people that think that way often have a lack of self belief in themselves or their way of doing things, much more than the person bringing a new thing has.

Ouch.. two in a row. Guilty. I like to stay downwind and out of sight instead of staying quiet when it least matters.

But to assume someone has less than you because they think different than you is a pretty bad fallacy.

I assumed nothing. Given all your posts it was simple deductive reasoning. That reasoning failed. No big deal.

PH’s love suppressors. They won’t tell the old fuds that because they don’t want to lose your 20k checks for hunting. But most would have them all the time, and are grateful for the change.

One. Give the name of one of your PH’s using a suppressor on a magnum cartridge rifle.

“ The two PHs I have hunted with both loved them.”

This is easy. Give me one name.

Really?!? Would love to see your actual data on that. Is it based on a survey, chats at SCI or DSC, or perhaps your own experiences there? I have hunted Africa a great deal over the last 20+ years and have yet to meet a PH with either a suppressor or much of an opinion with respect to one. I admit, that I have only hunted South Africa twice, and clearly, judging by the videos and photography, suppressors seem to be prevalent on the rifles made available for the sports on game ranches. That seems to track with the growing "estate" management of game and hunting opportunities in South Africa that mirrors much of Europe and New Zealand. I hasten to add that I am not saying there is anything wrong with those hunting opportunities. However, I am suggesting there is a whole lot of that continent where things are a bit different and a suppressor would be perceived as, should we say, somewhat novel.

I use raptor 8 with 5” reflex on 375 Ruger. Cant imagine It not being supressed.

What a great rig for bear and moose. What's the weight?

I don’t have a great scale for it. But around 10lbs. I do have a 16oz kickstop in it.

I have a lighter 2.0 stock, no kickstop, with a lighter smaller suppressor that is right at 8lbs.

You told me all I needed to know with the tampon part. I truly haven’t met a person over about 5’6 130 that talks like you do.

Most men let their actions do the talking and worry very little about what another man uses to hunt.

Just remember speaking for a professional and not being able to back your play.

I hear you. I should never speak for anyone but myself.

No reason to fight over it, why I erased my post.

Have a good one and shoot em straight.
