Yes. I have enough in various calibers to last a while.

Also, what does the silencer cost? And what is round count life of the thing when fired thru with full power loads? And...does POI actually stay the same with the thing on and off?
About US$500.00
It's all steel, and will most likely outlive the life of at least one 9,3x62 barrel at full loads. Obviously if you were going to mount one on something full auto, resulting in constant extreme heat a lot, it's life would be shorter. But for normal calibers under normal use this isn't an issue.
I can't say if POI will stay the same with this rifle or not, since I haven't gotten that far yet! However, I have shot with quite a few rifles where POI isn't effected, while I've shot with others that do change a bit depending on if the silencer is on or off.
As for the slant of the rear sight, since my main use will be in dark, dense forest, I will go with it in the traditional way.
