So new setup will be
Tikka 7mm RM
Full 24 inch barrel (can cut down later if I find it too long)
Shooting Federal Premium 155g Terminal Ascent

Burris Signature 3-15x44 Illuminated Reticle
DPT suppressor (from my .270)
Bipod + Sling

The debut will be on the west coast chasing Chamois on Waitangi weekend. To say im stoked would be an understatement!

Sweet set up mate hopefully serves you well, what suppressor do you have on your 270? its has to be the magnum version to handle the rem mag fyi.

Please expand on this statement. Meat damage caused from a suppressor?

I believe it was tongue in cheek, suggesting the suppressor could become a "projectile"
