.30 Caliber Supressors


Recommended Posts

I am considering getting a .30 cal can for one of my hunting rifles.  Before I buy one I would like to test fire the rifle with and without the can.  I want to make sure there is enough of a reduction to justify the cost.  Anybody in the Nashville area have one and wouldn't mind me tagging along the next time they go shoot?

 

I am thinking about putting one on one of these two Kimber rifles.

It’ll be enough to shoot with out hearing protection but that’s about it unless you go sub sonic but then you may run into bullet expansion issues. I hunt with my 6.8 AR suppressed 100% of the time due to the likleyhood of multiple shots on hogs but it’s an sbr and is balanced nicely with an OAL barrel length of about 17”. That short kimber may balance and Not feel awkward which maybe the ticket but definitely smart to try before you buy. 

I tried it and decided to wear hear pro when I go with my bolt guns

It was going to be for a hunting rifle. After seeing what I would have to invest for a good can I decided it was not worth it for something I was only going to shoot a couple times a year.   Decided to just put that money towards another gun.

I hear ya...I got a TiRant45m and its pretty cool but honestly since im not a hunter a 30cal can would probably just collect dust for me too....I wouldn't mind dabbling in hog hunting with my KS47...but that's what ear protection is for, right?
