    I would be careful placing a safe, firearms, and ammo in a ceiling space. A very volatile climate to place them in, with huge temperature variations (specifically far too hot).

    I have a 25-06, have shot it suppressed and unsuppressed - definitely had more grumbling from hunting mates if it's fired un suppressed! Love the cartridge. Does need a decent barrel length though.
