  1. Decibels are not on a linear scale, they are on a logarithmic scale. On a ruler, a distance of 20cm is twice as long as a distance of 10cm and 30cm is three times as long. But the logarithmic decibel scale goes up in powers of ten: every increase of 10dB on the scale is equivalent to a 10-fold increase in sound intensity (which broadly corresponds with a doubling in loudness) Normal conversation is about 60 dB, a lawn mower is about 90 dB, and a loud rock concert is about 120 dB. In general, sounds above 85 are harmful, depending on how long and how often you are exposed to them and whether you wear hearing protection, such as earplugs or earmuffs. 120db is painful, and about 32 times as loud as 70db. A high powered rifle (300winmag, 243.....) is about 155db.. add a muzzle-brake and it goes up to 165db. I either have my kids shoot suppressed or with plugs and sometimes muffs too. I dont want them hearing crickets 24/7 like I do. Mine is from jet engines.
  2. My 2 daughters killed cow elk last fall with suppressed rifles. 3 of my nephews killed deer and elk the year before. Shooting suppressed is the way to go. Recoil reduction like a muzzle brake plus you get 25-35dbl sound reduction. Accuracy improves, and improves situational awareness over wearing plugs.
  3. Up for sale, a gently used Swarovski Habicht 6-24x50 with one sun shade and the see-through scope caps. I do not have the box or paperwork, I got the scope on a custom rifle. It is Second Focal Plane with the TDS-4 reticle with a 30mm tube I found this data for the The TDS-4 on www.swarovskioptik.com I put in my info for a 7mm Rem Mag with 140gr Winchester Silver Ballistic Tips and here is the reticle with it at 24power. 1st bar = 100 2nd bar =225 3rd bar = 355 4th bar = 477 5th bar = 616 It was mounted but I dont see any ring marks. The optics are pristine. 1000.00 obo no trades at this time.

    what kind of gun is this

    I have taken 2 of these beauties that were sporterized and converted them to .45ACP. Sort of like the De Lisle Carbine. 1 is a SBR with a suppressor and the other has an integral suppressor built on to it. They both are stupid quiet, with the integral being much quieter then the SBR.

    its a Glock. All firearms are Glocks
  6. you could have said, "Oh, I watch you sleep." Stalker alert.
  7. It's preferable however I have a Tacoma and many times all 5 seats are full. Mule tape and cargo nets and tarps serve me well
  8. yikes. The word of the day is Cargo nets! Pass it on.

    So sad. What a great guy. I had the privilege of meeting him at a youth turkey hunt that he cooked for. He will be missed.
