Hi guys. I'm looking to build a silenced subsonic deer hunting rifle. Ranges will be from 10 yards up to 200 yards (extreme). I'd like to keep this rifle as short as possible, so I'll need either an integral suppressor, bullpup stock, or a SBR. I'd like to skip the SBR if possible, and if I convert my AR the bullpup is out.... I already have a Oly Arms AR 15 that I can modify.
Necessities:
1. Must have sufficient power to take out deer sized animals @ 200 yards and closer
2. I want the flattest trajectory possible out to 200 yards. I'd rather not think of rise and fall of the bullet when shooting.................just point and click/pffft
3. I want a bullet that will expand on impact and produce a nice wound channel and a quick kill at subsonic velocities.
4. I want this rifle to be as silent as possible so what do you recommend as far as silencers go? Weight is of little concern.
5. Reliability is of great importance as is accuracy. 3" groups at 200yrds is acceptable. 1.5" @ 100yrds. Tighter is always better.
6. Of coarse I want to keep my spending as low as possible.
I've been looking at the AR 300 whisper and the Ruger 44mag carbine, but I have been unsuccessful in finding accurate trajectory charts for different loads and calibers.
With the 300 whisper I can use my AR as a build platform. Model 1 has 300 whisper barrels at a decent price and I can use the upper receiver and handguards from my AR as well as other parts.............I have no use for a .223. I would need to have some machine work done to it to make it exactly what I want, but that shouldn't be a big problem with all the machinists around here
So................what do you guys recommend and why?
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Thanks even more for answering my questions.
