Hey guys,

I live in a state wherein suppressors are illegal, but I'm looking for a way to limit the noise and blast of my rifles as much as possible when hunting. It looks like the only option for me would be a linear comp.

Here are my questions:
1. Does a compensator actually make an appreciable difference with noise and muzzle blast of a rifle?
2. Does it increase recoil? Decrease recoil? Or not affect it in any way?
3. Finally, the barrel in question is a 6.5 caliber. Doesn't seem to be many comps on the market in this caliber, despite how popular the various 6.5 caliber cartridges are. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Ps. Thread pitch is 5/8-24.
