The best money I ever spent on a Firearm/Firearm Accessory, was money spent on a quality suppressor. I have a 16 inch Christensen Arms Ridgeline, chambered in 308 Win. With a Silencerco Omega can onboard, it is handy, wieldy, and deadly out of a hunting blind. Absolutely safe without hearing protection, and a joy to hunt with. This rifle from Tikka is a step in the right direction for folks who don't have to hunt in wet weather where the wood can be a detriment. I’m right there with ya. A suppressor was one of the best firearms purchases I’ve made. Truly made shooting fun again - like being a kid with a new box of 22 ammo. Oh. My. Fking. Gawd! You need a centerfire rifle to sound like a .22lr to enjoy it?! Awe, u poor wittle baby, with your sensitive little ear drums. Try a fking 50 cal machine gun, where your issued 3m plugs didn't seal good in yer greasy fkn ear canals. Because you hadn't showered in over a week on a mission in a combat zone. Oh my gawd; I'll be laughing for DAYS. Are you per chance related to Swamplord? Asking for a friend.

And yes, I used the M2 and Barrett in Iraq. All the more reason to use a suppressor now, and save what hearing remains.

Still waiting Prarie_twatt. Common man. My favorite so far, is your legendary crying about a fkn clapped out M249 in basic.
Did the screamin eagle patch hurt you fkn ears too?

Preferably far enough where there’s no outside communication. Did you make sure you got your name in for that class action law suit against 3M? Might pay you enough to buy some Midol.

Those worried about hearing, I'll bet north of 75% of all hunting shots taken while standing up are done without hearing protection. Simple fact of the matter.
Longer barrels are certainly more noise friendly than short ones. A suppressed 16" barrel is easier on the ears than a naked 26".
I have a 308 with 18" barrel that i built just to shoot suppressed. While shooting at a pair of blacktails last year, my buddy commented how nice it was that my rifle was suppressed.. if I'm at the range, i wear protection, in the field, i need to hear stuff and don't always have time to put plugs in. My main goal with reducing muzzle blast to lessen impact on the cattle and dog that rides in the pickup. And myself if I'm shooting from the cab. I used to pack a 243 Montana for a truck gun and it was too loud for shooting out of the cab, the dog hated it and I didn't do it for more that just a couple coyotes. I shoot a chitload of shotgun without hearing protection and the occasional rifle without but for a truck gun I like the idea of suppressed. My 300 Blackout gunbroker order flaked out so I had to order another one this morning. I really want to try subsonic ammo with the suppressor, it looks neater than hell in youtube vids.

Shot my little blackout today. Stuck in the office doing paperwork all day and about every 30 min I’d open the back door and blast dirt clods in the field behind the house.

One quick hijack and then I'll be quiet...
What are the specs on your Blackout and what ammo?

Rem 700AAC with a take off sporter contour barrel that came on the model seven AAC, faux Ti stock cut for pt&g DBM, timney trigger, mdt mags, SWfA 1-4x, Silencerco harvester 30. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Gm961Tkz/IMG-3119.jpg) Been working on a 500rd bulk box of 208 Amax loads I bought awhile back. Ordered some Barnes 110gr to load to try supers in it. Only shoot subs now. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/pXs37Jnp/IMG-3120.jpg)

With a 50yd zero it’s dropping roughly 2 mils at 100, 4.25 at 150 and 6.75 at 200. The little SWfA works great at that short range.

If you're going to shoot subs from a 300 blackout, try to find a bullet that will expand, like the 190 SubX. I say that because the 300 blk is terrible for ricochets on hard ground, which describes Eastern Montana for about 10.5 months out of the year! Shooting p-dogs with a 300 Blackout with subs, and hearing the bullet sail through the p-dog and off into space was less than ideal, and could be a really bad deal when shooting amongst stock.

That's something to think about, thanks for sharing. Sorta like shooting pistol at paper in the winter time and ever other shot is zing.... I'm pretty careful and never shoot if cows are in the background but regardless good to know. I ordered this ammo, replacement order gun is supposed to be here on Thursday so maybe I can sneak away from the cows and get a test run in this weekend. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1001854094?pid=995327

In my experience, the subsonic 300 blk has zingers on steroids with typical match type hollow points.

Yes some rifles should never have one, but I’ve got a 24” 6.5 prc and a 16” Ruger ranch 5.56 that wear it. Yes the prc is awfully long but I’m moslty in open country using it. The coyotes, deer, antelope and elk don’t like it, but my ears do. The $200 paper work and wait do suck but I love shooting suppressed. Not sure I’m onboard with this tikka. My little Ruger is an ugly little rascal too but for whatever reason I like it.
