So we had a good day of weather in my area today, decided to take the rifle out and have some fun. While I am shooting, another guy shows up with a suppressed .223 Rem 700. All I can say is WOW. I cannot believe how amazingly quiet it was when he fired. I've shot suppressed pistol before and I have seen rifle videos so I kind of had an idea of what to expect but I never would have imagined it to be that quiet.

Very cool...and just adds more fuel to the fire I already have about wanting to get a suppressor.
