Thread: Deer Caliber + Ammo Cost

There seems to be quite a few NZ companies making suppressors. What is considered the "cream of the crop" of these? Without sparking too much debate .

It's more relevant to your use... Hardy, Gun Works, Grey Stone, MAE, DPT, Zigiliani all do an excellent product for over barrel ... I've only seen the DPT in the Modular configuration and for Stalking it looks hard to beat due to its ability to be made smaller.

The Over barrel one is the most quiet... But, it's a hot debate and unless you have figures (I'm sure they are out there) then it's hard to tell the difference between the top brands... they are generally heavier though.

Tried Gadgetmans 308 yesterday with and without gunworks suppressor. I liked! Thx again GM.

Next question - what magnification scopes are you guys using on 308's? I was thinking 3-9x or 4-12x? That'd show a deer up at 500m as if it was only about 50m away. Is this the right type of thinking or should I be looking at more?

I find I use mostly 2x on my 22 with a 2-7x Redfield. I'd like to keep that low end mag if possible on whatever I get for my 308 as I wouldn't mind blowing a few pests apart up close.
