Smaller calibres like .223 no, larger like 7mm Rem Mag while far quieter still have a decent soundDon't you still need hearing protection with one?

I have seen some videos on you tube and guys in your area, Europe, etc. run the heck out of suppressors. It appears to me many of them the threads are much farther inside the can than I see here in the US. Am I not seeing it correctly? Are the threads at the end of the can or partially in the middle of it? If I could get a can where it only made my 300RUM or 338Edge 26" barrel 31" instead of 37" I would be extremely interested.All my rifles are threaded, have a pile of now unused Brakes.
I currently own 5 suppressors and have been using them over 20 years. Suppressors ar enot regulated here in NZ and available "over the counter" at any firearms retailer.
Hunting rifle yes barrels are shortened. Range rifles not shortened. My Kimber Montana 300WSM hunting rifle is shortened to 20 inches and OAL 24 with suppressor which makes it the same as an unsuppressed 30/06 which is what the aim was.
On the range suppressor keeps all the neighbors happy and other range users happy, out hunting keeps you, your mates and most especially your dog happy as we all keep our hearing. Bonus is animals generally don't react too much as past 100m or so they only hear the crack of the bullet going past assuming your first shot missed!
Kind sir… I'm trying to build a lightweight elk rifle for high country work, either 308 or 7-08. What Tikka models do you favor and why? 500 yard max range but I want sub MOA performance and am willing to hand load. Please share-YUP,. I have, THREE Tikka's that,.. look like, yours !
NO Brakes or, Cans on, ANY of our, HUNTING, Rifles
.243 Win, & 6.5 Creed for, Deer, Antelope, Coyotes and, Fun on steel, and,.. a 270 WSM for, Elk.
My son has a 7mm-08 in, a Tikka also !
All 4, are 7.5 Pounds or less and HANDY with those, 22 or, 24 inch Barrels.
SOLD my Heavier/ LONGER, Rem 7mm Mag., 26 " barreled Rifle that, CAUGHT ON almost, every, freakin' Branch !
YUP,. We're still,.. "Old School" ! We wear plugs and ENJOY that, Super,.. Velocity !
Yes many companies make one. I got a Silencerco 300 Omega and it works awesome on everything from 223-300WM. 22LR has to be able to take apart and clean, so I would suggest not using it through a closed can even though you could. Screwed up and should have gotten the 338 Harvester. My dumb butt didnt research enough before I jumped.Talking about suppressors what would be a good one from multiple calibers. Do they make one that you could use on a 22 right up to 338.
For Elk,..Kind sir… I'm trying to build a lightweight elk rifle for high country work, either 308 or 7-08. What Tikka models do you favor and why? 500 yard max range but I want sub MOA performance and am willing to hand load. Please share-
I like brakes because I shoot better with them. All my hunts are out west and I don't want to sacrifice anything in velocity at the ranges that I expect to shoot.I see a lot of folks are putting silencers on their hunting rifles, even sacrificing ballistic performance by shortening barrels.
Anyone else prefer their hunting rifle to not have a silencer? Maybe I'm old school but I don't have muzzle brakes or silencers on my hunting rifles.
I use those on the range with a pair of custom in ear under them. At the range always double ear protectionI like brakes because I shoot better with them. All my hunts are out west and I don't want to sacrifice anything in velocity at the ranges that I expect to shoot.
I use the equipment in the link to mitigate the issue of muzzle blast. This item will improve my hearing, while protecting me from the muzzle blast. I know most of you know about the above mentioned item, but I'm surprised that it hasn't been mentioned yet:=)

Yes "over-barrel" are common here with the suppressor extending past the muzzle 3-4- 5 inches (depending on model / brand) and similar back from the muzzle. This reduced the Over all length.I have seen some videos on you tube and guys in your area, Europe, etc. run the heck out of suppressors.
