458 Lott Suppressor

[whisk(e)y hunter]

Have heard good things about the DA Primal but not sure if it’s Lott rated

Do you have to hand in your man card with the application for a big bore silincer?

Just asking for a friend

It’s funny all the talk about not using a muzzle brake for the sake of the ph. But the opposite side, using a suppressor for the sake of the ph, never gets talked about.

My guess is they almost universally would want all their clients to use them.

I've used suppressors on every plains game hunt I have participated in with calibers up to 375 H&H. The PH's all encouraged it and were certainly happy we had them along.

On my dangerous game hunts the same PH's seemed to prefer no suppressors. Most of us used double rifles and it wasn't an option, but those that had threaded barrels were encouraged to use thread protectors. No muzzle break, No suppressor.

I hunt primarily suppressed when I can, but it does influence the rifle I use. Trying to add a suppressor to a 24-26 inch barrel is not practical and changes the balance of the rifle. If you are realistically going to hunt with a suppressed rifle you will be looking at maximum of a 20 inch barreled rifle which means your favorite trusty rifle you have used for the last 20 years is relegated to the safe. Not everyone is ready to do that.
