and (drum roll) it's even wife approved :) (Savage Stevens 223, 4-12x40AO scope, suppressor).
I'm taking Thurs/Fri off work to go kill stuff (rabbits, hares, goats, pigs, deer, and those wierd black and white deer maybe).
-
umm where exactly is a suppressor like that legal?

Everybody has em - don't you? :P

a lot of places in the U.S.A. , if you paid the Federal tax for it. I think it is under the $200 tax class. have to look it up on the http://www.atf.treas.gov/ website.
yep $200 making firearm tax class. http://www.atf.treas.gov/firearms/nfa/041708silencer_faqs.htm
however State and/or local laws may prohibit the use of one for hunting.

Missing something there Bwana? :D

Woot...I'm a member.

Texas, with a $200 permit. I think you also have to have a Class 3 license on top of that.. but last I read, you can get a supressor for each gun, with each one requiring a separate permit... but it can't be done.
-
I would think you would go out hunting Macs and not animals that work :)
-
Does that suppressor render the bullet subsonic, and if not, just how much, percentage wise, is the noise reduced?
-
Nice! Congrats Vulcan, I KNEW inside the sheep shagging exterior an American was dying to get out! :aok

you'll shoot yer eye out with that thing :aok

No he won't- although guns and supressors are legal in NZ, bolts and firing pins are not.

I took it out so as not to freak out the leftie tree hugging smug mac owners at the office.
slipknot no the suppressor doesn't render the rounds subsonic. I hear some guys load their own subsonic rounds though.

Just an update, got my first kills with the new rifle today.... a sheep, a goat, and a hare (in that order)
Man the supressor sures makes a big difference.
(sheep was a mercy killing)

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.
-
I take a lot of skill to stalk that goat, or did the sheep prove more of a challenge for your superior hunting skills?
-
mojava.. it is hard to tell if you are angry or just weeping uncontrollably.
I believe he said the goat was a mercy killing.. I guess you only approve of mercy killing when it is human beings huh?

It was the sheep that was the "mercy killing" . Try reading my statement again with that in mind Laz. I realize reading comprehension isn't your strong suite. You big internet bully you.
-
ok.. sheep.. doesn't change anything. would a human dieing in his bed being mercy killed take a lot of "stalking" ability by the doctor? Would that make the doctor a brave and clever hunter?
At least you can eat game.

Err yes, wild goats on a steep cliff - it was a 150 yard or so shot. Goats here are considered pests - they breed profilically, destroy native bush leading to erosion problems. I came across the sheep in a gully trying to swing round to get an angle on the goats.
FYI if its not a bird it is pretty much considered a pest here. NZs native species are almost exclusively birds bar a few lizards. Anything else causes problems to the landscape, native species, and has no natural predators.

Lemme guess.
The sheep clamped down and you couldnt back out.
Bet that hurt LMAO

Sweet gun. All my guns have supressors on them, legal or not. I just love the sound they make. Anyone see the supressor on the shotgun from "No Country for Old Men", is that even possible?
-

Naw not really. But ya don't have to lead them that much either even when startled.
:O
-
Just a followup (coz I'm so happy).
Made a 180m headshot on a hare today (I checked the measurement on Google Earth Pro to be sure).
One sweet rifle :)

Treehuggers are weird. Congrats on a clean kill!

Treehuggers? Moots a tree hugger LOL?
Hares and rabbits are pests here, with few natural predators (just hawks and they won't take a mature hare). Hare's target sapling tree's. Rabbits cause erosion of the landscape and damage to native fauna. Farmers hate them as well as their burrows often trip livestock breaking legs. I also nailed a couple of goats on Wednesday.... one smaller one and a monster nanny (at 170 lb's) - this was the little one:

Same thing with wild goats, big pest problem. Landscape issues, destroy native fauna, no natural predators, breed aggressively. Once again farmers hate them, they destroy fences (push through them aggresively).
For rabbits I keep the meat (if I can clean headshot), hare is hard to prepare so I slice em open and leave them for the hawks/magpies. Goats I'll take the hind legs (had some tips from local hunters) off the young ones.
We also have wild pigs, once again a pest. They absolutely DESTROY the landscape with their rooting around.
So far my 'spot' has served up rabbits, hare, and goat. There's sign of pigs (hard to miss chunks of 20m squared farmland rooted up). But I'm really hanging out for a deer :)
-
OMG it had a pouchfull of milk.. You just made an ORPHAN too :cry I'm praying for you Vulcan :(
Seriously though, I must be a bit sadist because I like hunting even more when there's a dog along. Are you getting the itch for more guns yet ? :D
-
poor twenty fo.. maybe your sarcasm would go over better if you knew something about guns?
It is fine to hate em.. it is just poor judgement to open your mouth in every gun thread when you don't know anything about guns.

If you really really wanted to you could eat the human......we are edible.....
-

Yes, but managing to resist it :) . Thats why I got the 223, it's fairly versatile and the ammo is cheap.
-
Actually I was refering to Mojava's comments earlier as regards to the treehugger
thing. However, I do think it's none of my business what Moot does in the privacy of
his own backyard ;)
