| I have an Ar that I use for Varmint hunting. My issue is i normally have more than one infront of me at a time and im looking to quite the rifle down a bit to beter my chances at taking more than one at a time. Any suggestions? |

Check your state laws on hunting suppressed first. For instance here in Indiana we can't hunt a thing, no varmints, nothing, with a suppressor on the gun. There's a law going through the state house to change that, but as it stands, I'd be awful pissed if I bought a can for hunting and found out I couldn't hunt with it!  |

I built up an 18" 1/8 twist rifle length gas wylde chamber .223 ar-15. I use the Gemtech G5-T with great results. Get sub MOA @ 100. Best 5 shot group is 5/8". Use to get the Federal 50gr hollowpoints, but I can't find them anymore. If you don't care about fast attach the Trek-T is a thread on suppressor that weighs 10.3 ounces with an OAL of 5.7". Great cans. Nice and light - easy to pack around.

YHM SS or Ti Phantom 762QD for the win. (for multicaliber capability)
However, unless you're using subsonics, I'm not sure how much a suppressor does at not spooking animals, as a suppressed 223 is still pretty loud... IIRC, Hunting with suppressors in MD is GTG....Don't quote me though.

It is legal to hunt in the great state of Maryland (all animals). FWIW, the animal is going to know that is being shot at and flee. One of the benefits that I have found when hunting hogs in Texas is that they are unsure of where the shots are generated. There have been multiple occasions that I have had hogs toward me while I was shooting at them. Wild hogs do have poor eyesight, but do have good hearing. Another benefit of hunting with a suppressor is reduced recoil/muzzle flip and increased ability to make rapid follow-up shots. You may want to reconsider your host and caliber for your sneakiness, sir. |
