I don’t have a lot of experience with cans, but own two silencerco pistol suppressors (22 and 45) and both do a good enough job for my needs (mostly not pissing off neighbors)
There have always been distractions, but people didn’t intently read small screens in the past. I may be getting old but it seems more egregious and dangerous. “Those darn kids!” (Shaking my fist)
I have a Leupold VX2 3-9 on my CZ 455 and often wish I had a little more scope on it. Mostly for varmint and some plinking, and I often shoot subsonic suppressed in which case the 3-9 is a bit overkill. Depends on application.
I have enough property to shoot, but I'm friends with my neighbors who don't shoot, and don't want to piss anyone off. I therefore have invested in multiple suppressors, and try not to do anything overly egregious.
I impulse bought a Maxim 50 suppressed muzzle loader a while ago and have yet to shoot it. It's scoped with a 2-7 vortex, and I have powder/primer/projectiles and the case for it if anyone is looking for one.
