Thread: Going ‘old school’

I kinda fall into this camp , my long range rig is a suppressed 308 with 10 power scope ,plenty good enough out to 400 and my personal max range , my other rifles are older with iron sights and smaller scopes the only down side to older rifles with iron sights and /or smaller scopes and bush hunting is the hearing protection.
I have recently ordered a new rifle in 6.5 x 55 with open sights and will wear a 3-10 power scope ,I really went round in circles about suppressing it but in the end I reckon you even get hearing loss with suppressed rifles so am going to try carrying a small set of earmuffs in the open country and look into some good custom earplugs , doesn’t solve the problem for bushstalking though .
