    Its pretty harmless from range, just when your right next to it can be a bit noisey. I think if your worried about noise we should just have a blanket suppressor rule, stops complaints from the get go and any future hassles if they are already pricks about forestry work. Much nicer to be around too.

    You proposing to buy me one Nibblet.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Savage 11 lightweight - 5.5lb from factory
    @Tahr I remember ordering mine about the time you got yours
    I think Sportways still has a few on the shelf with their closing down sale.

    I saw the American Model 14 in there yesterday, $600 odd down from $900 something. Don't recall seeing the lightweight hunter but wasn't really looking for another rifle.

    Usually 1300ish, but Sportways listed one in .223 in their closing down catalogue at $950.

    It's been tormenting me for weeks, but don't think the timing is quite right..

    Someone else buy it if they still have it and tell us, so I can stop the "should I, shouldn't I"

    Last week of their closing sale is this coming week.
