Today for the first time, I used a suppressor while shooting. Wow! You will notice I have no hearing protection on. This is an Accuracy International .260, a weapon I have used many times – but this was the most pleasurable!
The can we are using is an SAS Arbiter.
I put my order in for this same suppressor for the rifle I am building. After shooting with a suppressor today, I don’t think I can go back. If you had a choice, why would you? It reduces the recoil, removes any anticipation error linked to the sound, and allowed me to focus 100% on a smooth trigger pull while holding my target in the scope.
And??? How’d the gun run???
We had a great time! We were shooting the AI AE MK II .260 and a .223 Remington 5R. The rifle I am building is still about 9 months to a year from completion, so I take every chance I get to shoot my friend’s amazing rifles. I am taking the Remington back to San Diego just to get more range time with a rifle there before my rifle is ready.
Today we were just shooting clay birds, just having fun.
That’s great, and it will give you a good sense of trigger takeup, breathing and wind control… You’re going about it the RIGHT way!
To bad this wasn’t a video. would love to see…hear with and without.
Daron,
Check out this link:
It is a video of the same day, with suppression. I did not video a comparison without the can that day but, here is a video of the same gun a different day with no suppression:
I’ll see if I can make this into a more user friendly comparison. Thanks for checking out my blog!
