My major reason is courtesy to neighbors. Shooting is a very loud hobby. Be nice to pop some off in areas that get more congested without alerting the surrounding area. My gun range has been surrounded by neighborhoods that are complaining about noise already when they planted themselves around us in the first place.

Same with hunting, lots of populated areas have hunting areas that would surprise people.

Bolt action and subsonic, I'm guessing? My 10/22 still has some sound to it even with subsonic and my spectre II on it.

This is my reason for owning them as well. It brings the noise level down to an acceptable level to the neighbors.
