Silencerco Hybrid 46M is super versatile and will cover the 45-70.

Rize has a Primal. Wait for him to chime in.

I can’t help with bigger than .30 cal but I can vouch for Dead Air Nomad L. They are tough & quiet.

I’ve got it on a 16 inch bolt action .308 right now and have no complaints. It’s not going to be the most quiet but it allows you to shoot the bigger calibers.

I have a YHM R45 on my 444. Was looking hard at the Silencerco Hybrid 46 before I went with it. Really happy with it, no complaints. Honestly my choices were pretty slim due to most 45 cans being out of stock when I was ready to buy mine last year.

This is what I have on my 35 whelen. I’m happy with it. I chose it over the silencerco hybrid 46 because you can remove the baffles. I’ve taken it apart and cleaned it once already. It’s really easy to do.

I have one of the original model of the Silencerco Hybrid. Can't remember if that was technically a Hybrid 46. Anyhow, i've been extremely happy with it and would definitely recommend it. I use it on my Marlin 45-70 and also on my 300BO and 308. With a 30. cal end cap, i don't find it much louder (if at all) than my Silencerco Omega on those 30 cal rounds. I really don't think you can go wrong with the Silencerco, Dead Air, or the Griffin.

Resilient Rambling Man. Actual better tech than the other options. Way lighter too. It’s gonna sound better and be lighter than the other options listed.

Rize…. Does it improve if you use the smaller end caps for the smaller calibers?

I'm not Rize obviously but it would slightly. However, it would be slight enough that you likely would not be able to distinguish the difference.

The smaller cap on my hybrid makes about a 3-4db difference when shooting a 308. It is noticeable to my ear, but not by much. you have to be paying attention to hear it. if someone was a few yards away not watching they probably wouldn't notice a difference. most of the time i just use the 46 end cap that comes with it. I got my smaller (30cal)end cap on a clearance sale. I definitely wouldn't pay full price for one.
