Re: Removing Rust from Bore Thanks, guys, for the info!

I know, I'm an idiot... Apparently, I neglected to clean my stainless Tikka .308 last deer season (had some health issues that derailed my usual gun cleaning regimen) so now I have rust inside the barrel. Hopefully, I have not completely goobered up this rifle. I have used my usual Wipe Out...

Re: Pros & Cons: suppressed .308 vs. 5.56/.223? Thanks all, for the info! So, if I'm understanding this correctly, I should get a .338 suppressor to handle anything I might have (basically from .308 down to 5.56). The .300 Whisper sounds intriguing, too, especially if I can get an AR15 upper...

Admittedly, I'm a total noob to sound suppressors... Have a hypothetical question: say I'm in an extended SHTF situation and I would need a suppressed urban sniper rifle to keep the ...uh...zombies at bay. Targets out to about 300 meters or so. Would you pick a suppressed .308 or a suppressed...

Can't find this info on their website: Is that a .223 or a 5.56 chamber (i.e.: on the 1 in 8" twist barrel)? Also, what is the muzzle thread size? Thanks!

I posted this on the optics forum with no results, so I'm hoping someone here might have an answer. I don't know what the problem is, but I can't get this online from EOtech -- the website says "coming soon" even though the 553 has been in production for years. Can't find it on Google, although...
