    Default Best .30 Cal Suppressor

    Hey guys gonna take the leap into getting a suppressor probably going to get it from the Silencer Shop they seem to have the process streamlined especially now considering the kiosk for the prints and getting rid of cleo signature..what is the best bang for the buck ? Going to use it mostly on a 308 most likely a semiauto if they allow it for big game in the near future thanks all!

    Just about any from those are going to be cutting edge. It’s all about what youbintend to do it with and what characteristics you’re looking for

    ^ all those above

    plus for the budget minded- YHM (Yankee Hill Machine). I have a Phantom LT that I use on .300blk, .308, & .243 so far.

    The Dealer that I got it from praised YHM's warranty, but I can't speak to it

    I have heard a Silencerco in action. It was amazingly quiet. I also intend to take the leap. My first one will most likely be a Silencerco.

    I’ve got a Yankee hill as well it’s chunky. The resonator has been getting reviews as the best bang for your buck lately

    If you are going to shoot long range, 750+ yards, consider a Thunder Beast Arms Ultra 9. I have one on my Remington 700 and it's incredibly effective in reducing sound without affecting accuracy.

    I have a Gemtech Sandstorm and a Liberty Freedom that I am very happy with. YHM makes nice rifle cans too.

    The list of "don't buy from" is shorter these days. There are a great many well built suppressors out today

    Pick a name brand company with a mount system you like for the flexibility you want (or go direct thread) and go forth and pew quietly.

    Try to hear a suppressed full power super sonic rifle before you buy. Dont be fooled by videos on YouTube. As long as you know the expectations, you wont be disappointed.

    WCMG beat me too it. The Thunder Beast Arms Ultra 9 is probably the best out there. Others that are very good are the Rugged Surge 762 and the Silencerco Saker 762. I will say this, with suppressors you get what you pay for. Buy a $100 suppressor, you get a inexpensive suppressor that is cheaply made. Will it last, who knows?

    Just an FYI, Silencer Shop may make it sound easy but they have had problems in the past with the timely submission of the Form 4's they process but I don't know how they are today. To do everything at their kiosk, you first have to find a dealer that has one. Also, it was not them that got rid of the CLEO sign off, it was a change done by the BATFE when they changed the rules about using trusts for suppressors. If using a trust, all the people on the trust must be fingerprinted and fill out a questionaire, just like an individual has to do.

    I have a few suppressers and Rugged has amazing customer service and unconditional lifetime warranty....
    They totally impressed me the last time I needed help. Both times I managed to damage the suppressor were my fault, not the fault of the suppressor...
    I'm thinking about getting a 9mm Obsidian although the 45 Obsidian is amazing on a 9mm, and a 22 suppressor to add to my collection.
    I'm going with rugged for both.

    I did the Silencer Shop Kiosk for my Dead Air Sandman L... I would buy another, I really like it.

    Once you do the Kiosk for the first one, you can order suppressors from Silencer Shop while sitting in your living room.
    They have everything in their system. It's so simple to do, all you need is your email address and a credit card.
    Decide you want an SBR or something, you can do that too right on their site.
