You sir know how to party!!

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

Huh? Did you say something?

What? I couldn't hear you over the ringing in my ears...

 

[osprey]

Cva Hunter single shot in 44 mag. Lopped off barrel to 16" and threaded for Hybrid can. Shoots 300gr. WFN Leatherhead coated bullets at 1050 fps dead quiet. Most of the noise heard is the wide metplat of that heavy bullet smacking the target. If you havent checked the Cva out you are missing out. Barrels are very accurate made by Bergara and the trigger is awesome right out of the box. They are quite inexpensive to purchase as well. They beat the hell out of anything Rossi or H&R ever produced that's for sure.

 

[Deavis]

Ruger 77/357 . SBR @ 11". 12"x2" SMG open bolt designed can with huge volume.

Subsonics are mouse fart quiet.

 

[bbbass]

The one that never leaves my gun safe.

 

[coyote223]

Marlin 1894/SWR Trident/.38 subs

 

[Certaindeaf]

My 30-06, no can.
250gr lead slug and a pinch of Red Dot for stealth coyote slapping.. just a few cents a shot.

 

[Max713]

You don't know quiet until you've shot a suppressed bolt gun.

Two Ruger Americans, 300 Blackout and 22 LR.

Do you roll your own ammo? If so, what recipe do you use?

Yep, tried many different powders and the most consistent results for velocity and accuracy ended up being with the powder I use for my full power loads in my revolvers, 12.7 gr of Alliant 2400 with the coated Leatherhead cast 300 gr Wfn bullet gives me single digit sd and great accuracy.

Very nice, thanks for sharing that

 

[Felman]

Savage FVSR with HTG Aris.. It's heavy but is damn near silent when shooting subs!

 

[FA9]

My ar9 is pretty quiet.

 

[Ruger Rich]

Cant tell. At the range I always wear hearing protection. I can always tell the loudest in positions near me though. When hunting and I'm fortunate enough to get a shot I never hear it or feel the recoil.

 

[nammac]

Bull barreled Ruger 22/45 would have to be the quietest...

12 gauge 870 would be the loudest...

 

[CountryGent]

12 gauge 870 would be the loudest...

Here are my loudest at the present ...



Top is a SxS Coach Gun with an 11" barrel. The bottom is the Serbu Super Shorty with a 6½" barrel. Both are in 12-gauge (2¾" and 3" chambers, respectively). Both registered of course (SBS and AOW, respectively). And they are, eh-hem, on the loud side.

I've been contemplating a Coach Gun for the bedroom, you know, for initial home security... They've always intrigued me...

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.

( Old Thread ) 'but' Not even close as quiet as, if you take the ( boltaction ) BO and handload ( 4.4 grn. N-320 ) under a 110 Grn. Speer HP's . Or take that same powder and tune for .30 90 grn xtp's .
.edit add:
and still your handing out Couple hundred ft/lb of grossly underestimated, impact energy.

I'm sure theres all sorts of quiet low powered loads you could put together for a bolt action but I load my 300 BO loads to cycle my SBR's as well. If it wont cycle a 7 inch SBR it has no place in my ammo can. 240 grain 1000 FPS is going to hit with about 500 ft lbs at 100 yards with essentially the same ballistics as the 110 grain load at 225 ft lbs
