An argument can be made to abolish the tax on machine guns now too. That’s assuming the courts side with it. If they don’t, and it’s possible, we got nothing out of it. The best route was in this bill , which would have eliminated relying on courts, including the Supreme Court, for a pro 2A decision. John Robert’s and Amy Coney Barrett are not to be trusted.

cactusjack Report post Posted July 7 The zero tax stamp goes into effect on Jan 1, 2026. I know people that are going ahead and buying their suppressor and paying the 200, just to have their can for hunts this fall. A ultra lightweight 28 Nosler with a can might be worth an extra 200 to somebody... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess it changes the ballistics somewhat to not have a can for the hunt itself but unless you're also doing load dev and dopes at the same exact conditions as your hunt I would chalk it up to a wash. after re-zeroing of course. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel the same way, I think I’ll just wear earplugs too lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cactusjack Report post Posted July 15 Wearing earplugs is great. Everyone should wear them every time they shoot. Especially when using a brake. Everyone I talk to about ear plugs has a plan. Unfortunately putting them in is most often the part of the plan that is skipped when a quick shot or buck fever kicks in. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HuntHarder Report post Posted July 15 I like suppressors for not only the noise suppression, but also the recoil suppression. OTB cans are going to become more and more popular with hunting rifles IMO. I still wear ear plugs when I shoot suppressed, unless its a sub sonic round. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
