What is yours and why?

Give me something other than 22lr and 300blk.

I shoot pretty much all mine suppressed save for pistols that aren’t threaded.

For Hollywood quite, .22lr with subs in a bolt action.

As do I

I have most of mine sighted in with a suppressor and use the quick connect to interchange them

I have a Ruger American in bolt action that is staple gun quiet with CCI quiet ammo.

I’m wanting another center fire caliber bolt action to shoot suppressed.

I don’t have one yet but will get in line for one soon, but I have shot a bunch of my buddies.
The most impressive was shooting my buddies CA arms ridgline Fft in 300wm. Shooting without hearing protection and 200gr loads without hearing protection and the recoil of a 410 is a game changer.

Many of mine have never been shot without a silencer.

My son has never deer hunted (with a rifle) without a silencer.

I just picked up this Ridgeline FFT with a 16 inch barrel in .308. Put a Zeiss V6 3-18x50 and have a Hyperion K I’m going to put on it so it will be around 22.5 inches.

I think it’s going to be fun to pack around and hunt in box blinds with.

I really enjoy 9mm suppressed out of a carbine/AR9. Finally getting around to shooting my bolt guns suppressed. Plan on comparing it to braked guns for accuracy.

Other than 300 BLK and 22LR?

I guess it would have to be 45 ACP and 45-70.

I actually consider my suppressed 1895 in 45-70 to be the ultimate suppressed firearm ... you gotta try one to understand.

I only have a .22lr suppressor. Took 13 months and I don’t feel like bothering with getting another.

.458 SOCOM

because a 500 grain bullet makes a cool thud sound when it hits a hog skull at subsonic speeds

Had to do a double take. Your gun is pretty similar to mine. Mines the Franchi Momentum Elite with the Zeiss Conquest V6.

Silencer is the Q Trash Panda. Wish I would have done a little more due diligence before buying the silencer, but at this point, I'll just get another one at some point.



To answer the OP, I really enjoyed shooting the 5.56 AR. I recently popped my cherry rapid firing a full mag through the AR with the silencer. I'm not sure I would say it's my "favorite", but 5.56 ammo is the cheapest caliber that I have to rapid fire which was a ton of fun.



So far this is my only silencer, but I do have .22LR silencer on the waitlist. 4 months in so far. Hopefully only 4-5 more months to wait.
