Something like this?........DeLisle Sporter SBR from Valkyrie Arms w/SWR HEMS II


or maybe this?......TC Contender With SWR HEMS II Suppressor


The Contender is more accurate. The DeLisle is a repeater. The DeLisle is a little shorter (33 inches OAL w/can VS 38 inch OAL for the TC), but the Contender is my favorite. 230 gr GDHP at 1000 fps should be potent whitetail medicine but won't get you to 200 yards without some serious elevation adjustment. Face it, at 150 - 200 yards, you better have a great rangefinder for ANY subsonic cartridge you choose. 3 or 4 yards may be the difference between a hit or a miss at 200 yards because of the trajectories. Also, if you base your expectations (for noise) on what you hear on a video over the internet, you are going to be dissappointed. There's nothing like being there when it comes to evaluating the noise level of any suppressor. My vote goes to the Contender with a quality .45 ACP can. Then sight in at 70-80 yards and keep your shots within 100-125 yards. Just my 2 cents worth. Of course, YMMV.
