What is your quietest centerfire rifle?

[wired]

Mine is my Ruger American in 300 BO. With my Specwar and 900 FPS 240 grain Sierras its quieter than my 10/22 with subs and a silencer.

My .444 Marlin.





At ~$2/rd that thing never makes any noise.

At this moment, all of them...

Limited to centerfire, it would likely be my vz61 SBR. The .32 ACP is a small cartridge and they are subsonic. With a 9mm AAC Ti-Rant in place, it is pretty darn quiet. Just a "pfft, clickity-clack" sound really.

It would be my MP5-SD. The can is old washer technology made by RDTS but it's large and muffles the sound very effectively. Recoil is even further reduced by the muzzle heaviness of the can.

Ditto. As soon as the Hearing Protection Act is law.

My 300bo pistol I had with an omega can.. but i sold that and got a r700 308.. which is way more fun and sub 150gr rounds are pretty fun.. I did top out my elevation for my scope trying to shoot 525yd with subs.. lol

Single shot .45 Colt shooting .45 APC through an 18 inch barrel is pretty quiet!

All of my rifles are quiet. All of 'em.

Huh? Did you say something?

.308 Handi-Rifle and .30 cal suppressor. I run a Hornaday 220 RN bullet and Trailboss powder. Chrono at 1000 fps, sounds like a pneumatic nail gun. I think it is quieter than my .300BLK ARs suppressed. I am a lefty using right handed ARs, so they always seem loud.

I have a .17HMR, when suppressed, that's pretty quiet. Sonic crack is the only thing your hear.

If the Good Lord had intended rifles to go pfft He would not have permitted us to invented stuff that goes BANG!

That's all I have to say on the matter.

tac, deff ol' fart.

By that logic he wouldn't have allowed us to invent suppressors. Of course any argument involving religion is circular.

 

[tac]

'snot religion, just sayin'. I just can't get interested in guns that go phut, especially my Sniders...

Suppressors are machinations of S*tan and should be, uh, suppressed...

Just shoot tannerite while your rifle is suppressed. That'll give you at least half a freedom chub.

22 Shorts through the 24" barrel of my ol Marlin is quieter than my air rifle. But the rest are loud. If the Hearing Protection Act passes and the prices of suppressors drops, I'll buy a can for my 11" AR. However, at the current prices, I'll pass.

 

[Goosebrown]

No can but my 6mmbr in a 30" barrel is quiet. Shooters on each side keep asking me if I an just dry firing. Almost no recoil either.
