I get it. I was not a fan until I tried them. I'm still the same way about electric cars but more unlikely to adopt. :LOL:

Well, I can understand the assumption. But I actually own the rifle and it's not.

The phone presents a slightly different view from what it looks like to the naked eye. For example, when i put my cheek to the stock, i don't really see the scope rear frame. Just the view. It also exacerbates the interference of the stock and the can. For those mentioning lugging a can -...

Sorry to hear. May he rest in peace.

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

My view is similar when using a longer range scope such as a 3-15x42. I see very little of the barrel or can. The picture i posted is using the 1x setting on a 1-6x. much wider FOV.

I'm also disinclined to be keen on muzzle brakes. I would that they were controlled by law and suppressors were not.

How magnanimous of you. Please pause while I genuflect in deference. Here's a view at typical eye relief distance at 1x facing down the frightfully dangerous black Labrador

Besides being cool, I'm starting to lean toward the camp that suspects that cans improve grouping. I received the biggest surprise of almost 10 years of load development this week. I put a 3-15x42 scope on my 22" 375h&h with a can and shot the drops out to 200 yards. (I do plan to go to 300...

I'll be sure to let you know if I survive the hunt with my dreaded can making my barrel an extra 3" over factory length. :cool: I think the anti-suppressor case is more of aesthetics and fashion rather than practical function.

Yes, completely agree. I didn't interpret it that way at all and didn't mean to imply anything.

22" Blaser with ab raptor 10 (7" long) suppressor using 71.5 gr varget and 270gr tsx has a velocity of 2618fps at muzzle if it's of interest to in your length consideration.

While it's possible to take animals with smaller calibers, I'm a big fan of having the extra margin in place with typically recommended cartridges for game.

This part is hilarious
