What are the drawbacks of porting?
A. Some of the more commonly cited drawbacks of porting include greater noise level (especially if you hunt in a blind or in close proximity to other hunters) and increased night flash (this is something that is of concern to police & military personnel). Porting can make the tube much less efficient if you’re using high velocity shells. It can also create a higher degree of vibration in the tube and make the tube less sturdy.
