nice going vulcan. you are pretty well set up for game where you are by the sounds of it. not much where i am, a few hares and possums about sums it up. i got to go down south for the bigger stuff. but i got a cousin that lives up north of auckland out in the sticks that lives on the deer up there. but the bugger has all but gone feral, so it's a bit iffy just visiting him letting alone organising a hunt with him.
yup,a suppressed .223 is pleasant to shoot. no need for hearing protecting when shooting from a bench, sighting in scopes etc. i use to use a mates suppressed mini14 and the muzzle rapport wasn't much differant from a .22 magnum rifle, which is low enough to be largely eaten up by vegetation when hunting.
