Which suppression do you use?

Was wondering what a good performing suppressor for the .204 is. Would like it as light as possible yet still hush the noise as much as possible. Anyone here using a suppressor? If yes how well does it work?

Several on board use suppressors and I sure with I could, but being a commie Kalifornia no chance. Sure would aid on noise pollution, ear protection, but alas no way for me. Bill K

We've had very good luck with both Gemtech and Silencerco; both make great cans.

When shooting ground squirrels, the rats hardly know we're there when shooting suppressed.

How well do they work? Most excellent! It's almost not fair......almost. :wink:

Looks like you have a nice setup. Do they perform about the same in terms of noise cleaning etc. Its seems they are all like 500.00 + 200.00 or 700+. So trying to find the best bang for the buck.

I think I would shoot more if I had one. Gets old having to put the headset on.

You’ll probably still want hearing protection. Suppressing a rifle from, say, 160db to 130db is great(!), but 130db is still very loud, and the supersonic shock wave off the bullet is also loud.

I like SilencerCo’s Omega, though it’s not designed specifically around small caliber rifles.
