308 suppressed

[ssgenuine]

So are 308's that are suppressed hearing safe? I have got a Arbiter and a 30p-1 on the way (should be here any minute 6 months from now) and really haven't been around any being shot with standard rounds. I know shooting subs they are stupid quiet, just wasn't sure with super sonic.


This is kinda like a group phsyc session for stamp waiters huh??? HELP my phsycy is phsic.

I shoot my .308 w/o hearing protection without much issue (when I am the only person out). Louder than my unsuppressed .22. ;)

There are no hearing safe centerfire rifle suppressors, the sonic crack by itself is above the damage threshold.

The beautiful thing about a suppressed rifle is the lack of concussion from the round firing. You'll have the supersonic crack, but you can get away with light ear plugs if no one else is shooting something obnoxious.
