[QUOTE="SupressYourself, post: 195681, member: 340"] I probably say this a lot, but a suppressor will take a lot of recoil out and make it more pleasurable to shoot in a lot of ways. However, there are some caveats that are particularly applicable to lightweight rifles. - It adds weight to the rifle, which may be counter to the goals you had for buying the rifle in the first place. - There may not be enough "meat" on the barrel to thread it without cutting it back more than you want. - The extra weight on the end may cause the barrel to contact the stock which will effect accuracy. -> This can be fixed with a file or sandpaper. Like Yoby says, most of these composite stocks are hollow, so you can take the recoil pad off and stuff some weight in there if needed. [/QUOTE]
