David, sounds like great fun

..but I always open the bottle I after I'm done shooting/hunting, usually a nice malt whiskey, but a J�«germaister schnapps is my friend to
Actually.. this might sound kinda silly.. but in a three inside the forest on my property, I have a bird 'box'. That looks exactly like a man made home for birds. But getting closer, there is no hole just a knob to open it. Inside there is one bottle of J�«germaister and fours schnapps classes. It's great to walk by when returning from a hunting trip with some friends
I use Husken silencers on my .22 rifle and 30.06 rifle wich I use for hunting. The silencer for the 30.06 cost me twice the amount as the rifle, it's worth it.. I never use hearing protection when hunting, so it saves my hearing alot + it also reduces the recoil a bit.
On the downside, the 30.06 silencer is about 50cm long (about 20cm of it goes outside the barrel) and its quite heavy. The silencer on the .22 rifle is to be able to shoot more birds before they take of.. been years since I used that rifle, but like Tom's Ruger, the only thing to hear is the cycle mechanism
