[QUOTE="Snowbird, post: 1588487, member: 87588"] Do any of you hunt with a suppressor? I'm just starting to do some research but thought i'd ask here first. I've been hunting without much in the way of ear protection all my life and over the last decade or so it, plus my job has started to get to my hearing. my work exposes me to loud noises regularly, including 164 db w/o muzzle break and other 2-5lb close distance detonations. i use ear pro for most of that but the human skull can only keep out so much. so, that has me thinking about last hunting season where i took a couple shots without ear protection. i definitely noticed a day later that my hearing was off...even over the usual tinnitus. now, i'm interested in reducing the decibels as well as muzzle jump from my sporter barrels. so far i've come across the thunder beast 7 and a couple others. is an over the barrel model reasonable for a bolt gun or only an AR? i'd like to keep the weight light and length short due to maneuverability.
