My .308 is bolt, and I have considered a single gemtech to run all my weapons.
Possibly not a huge factor for you, but it does add more weight to the rifle. Depending upon how much you may already have on your gun, this may or may not be a huge factor. Taking an 12 pounder through an active course may not be as enjoyable as you would like.
did a class where the guy to my left had a SBR with a compensator, and the guy on my right had a suppressor on his rifle.
Talk about extremes....I enjoyed having the guy with a suppressor on his rifle shooting next to me, but he still had to wear ear protection.
He ultimately did take the suppressor off after half a day because the added weight was a little bit annoying for him after several hours.
As far as weight - thats a good point, and something I've considered. This won't be for my RR Lar15, but for the Spikes/DD lwt carbine i'm building.
Anyone willing to weigh in on how the weight has affected them during the course?
It would be nice to have for coyotes/rock chucks, but i've shot them for years without it, so I suppose Ignorance is bliss atm.
