Ear pro is dependent on a variety of factors. Barrel length, can length, can design, can+brake vs no brake, powder charge. Lots of things go into it, but there are a multitude of cans out there that are comfortable with no ear pro, especially in shooting scenarios.

Personally, even with my quietest cans, I still wear ear pro. It makes me more comfortable at the shot.

Can't really answer your question, I just wanted to chime in that Silencer Shop absolutely screwed me to death on a recent purchase. I've bought a few before from them without issue but this time it has taken 2+ weeks and counting for them to ship two I bought, $2400+. I bought back on the 10th to beat the after the Jan 1st backlog that is sure to hit, so here I sit empty handed after paying for the stamps for nothing. I've called them about 50 times in the last week and half, those calls resulted in me actually talking to someone 3 times. Twice I was supposed to get returned calls that I never received, they updated my order status this morning to they have shipped and check with my dealer but they haven't received them yet, and the deadline of the 26th is here and gone. I hate freaking terrible customer service, I'll be going another route from now on.

That isn't surprising to me at all. They take a while with Form 3's. I've also noticed that my buddy who uses them and has them shipped to a LGS always take a few days to certify after submitting his Form 4. I always buy from random shop on the internet and have it sent to the same LGS. When I submit I'm certified before I walk out of the door.

Peltor EEP-100 have been great for me. Easy to pack around, battery last a while. I’ve used these at the range and NRL Hunter comps. I may upgrade at some point to have a case with battery instead of the case just being a charging port, but for a first pair the Peltor are rock solid.

I’d be leery of the Axil, from most of the feedback I’ve seen they are more of a marketing machine.

$1500 does cover pretty much anything. I recommend a can either with a brake (Magnus S-RR) or can with the ability run a brake/flat cap (other optuons).

The brake is most effective on a S or even K style can as it dissipates less gas for suppression and allows the brake to function more effectively. A suppressor adds some recoil reduction versus a bare crown, but a can plus brake is almost to brake territory. You do lose some song suppression reduction by adding the brake, but I think it is worth it. The ability to stay on target and watch impacts is paramount in a hunting scenario.

If you want the quietest braked can then it is probably the Nomad To XC or Magnus S-RR. The Theorem S provides the most recoil reduction, but it is the shortest and loudest can.

I haven’t tried my Recoil X brake on the Magnus yet, but reports are that it is the bees knees.

It’s .30-cal rated, but purpose-built for .308 and reducing back pressure. I don’t think 7PRC would be a good use case compared to other options.

CAT cans are quiet, but routinely come in heavy. My JL is nearly a pound, and titanium. Their cans are made for specific applications as well for them to really shine.

I took my anvil off of my RRS and put it on the Two Vets. Anvil is by far the best shooting head. The ball heads are better for glassing I think. I want a RRS 3 section but my wallet said Two Vets lol.

Easy answer as I've shot at almost all the ranges mentioned. Roaming Shot is the answer. Iberville would be my second pick. I'm a member at Roaming Shot so if you need help booking a time or something let me know and I'll help.

I have a few in a trust but all the last few years have been individual because I don’t really let people borrow them. Only one I really lend out is my Omega cause I don’t care about it lol.

Even if you went individual to get it quicker, after the first you can file to move however many you want into a trust and you already have them. Never plan on only buying one. I’m at 11 now and trying to decide what will make #12 and then I’ll call it quits.

I agree with get a new gun. I’m not sure of that profile but it may be hard to get threaded or only be possible to do an odd ball size like 9/16 instead of industry standard 5/8x24.

Now that Tikka is offering more factory threaded options that’s the easy button. For gifgles I’d get a new caliber. 6.5PRC or Creedmoor are easy buttons. Just let a diehard 308 buddy use my 25 Creedmoor and he was impressed with the damage on a deer.

I enjoyed the Hornady podcast about bullet selection matters more than cartridge head stamp.

Microtech was always a want of mine, bought one and they are meh. I have really been enjoying the last couple of ProTech knives I've bought though.
