Hi;
First post. I'm intrigued by this round and it's family. I ordered a barrel from Fox Ridge (TC) for my Encore just today.
I'm looking for something quiet to hunt whitetail in my back fields. Each year they build more and more homes in the area. Not that what I do is illegal, but the noise of a full-boat .308 at 06:30 sends mothers of small children ballistic (so to speak!). I'd just like to avoid the hassle with any neighbors and/or the police.
I'd like to hear from folks who have hunted with this round loaded subsonic, and how effective it is in the real world.
Are folks happy with the Model 1 brand upper A3?
I have a Colt Sporter "Competition H-BAR", Ser. CH003xxx that was made about the time of the "Ban". It has a screw-on flash suppressor, but no bayonet lug. Can anybody tell me if this is a pre-ban or post-ban gun?
Thanks.
