I'm looking for a silencer for use on a .308 or 30-06 for hunting. My main priority is that it be light and low-profile. I don't want to add another foot or pound to the end of my rifle. I'll be hauling this thing through the mountains.
When I shop though, I can't find anything appropriate. Everything on the market seems overbuilt for my purposes. For example, I don't need it rate for full-auto fire or a .300 RUM. I also don't need 30+ decibels of noise reduction. 10 decibels would be plenty of reduction for me.
Is anybody aware of a product like this?

could design maybe. Just adding 6 inches to the barrel of normal sized hunting barrels should take you down by almost 3 db.
Good thought - especially for big guns - if I'm going to add 6" to my barrel do I want to give up 200 fps to avoid needing earplugs?

Just another shopping thread, but I'm hoping somebody here can help me. I've been doing a bunch of googling and no luck.

I would take a look at the Thunder Beast Arms Corporation's "Ultra 5" suppressor. https://thunderbeastarms.com/products/ultra-5
TBAC makes some of the lightest, quietest, and most accurate suppressors on the market as well as their customer service is second to none. If you have any questions give TBAC a call and Zack or Ray are always willing to help you in any way they can. I have a few of their cans and they are absolutely top notch!

That little thing is sweet! Sounds just like what he is looking for!!! I might have to get me one of those.
Ummm, didn't you just say "I have all I need" a couple days ago?! LOL
See, just like I said, they keep coming out with lighter, quieter, and better cans and we just can't say no. Friggin things like potato chips, you can't just have one and close the bag. :yike:

Yes I did!!! You are tempting me man :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
You're looking at it all wrong, I'm not trying to "tempt" you, I'm just trying to help you spend some of your money. ;) ;)
And you wouldn't want to have an odd number of cans so when you order up that Ultra 5 you better go ahead and get a Dead Air Ghost for yourself, too. They are one of, if not, sweetest pistol cans on the market right now. I love mine, VERY quiet! :tup:

That is awesome!
I'm going to make up a tube of the same length and weight and attach it to my rifle to see how it would feel. I think 5 inches and 9 oz is about as small and light as I could expect.

I talked to one of the guys at thunder beast today. Seemed like a great company and I may have to side track some double money :bash: :dunno: :chuckle:
Did you talk to Zach, Ray, or other?? I've only ever talked to those two and they were awesome about answering all my questions every time I've called. Ray does some great side by side comparisons with other companies suppressors. He has a lot of stuff on youtube if anyone wants to look them up. Also, Ray is always open to doing all kinds of different test so if you have something you want to see tested, if he has time, he'll try and do it. Their CS at TBAC is second to none. I have a couple SAS cans and they're a great suppressor but their CS sucks, IMO.
