SSS.6.33 - Research Supplement: 30 Caliber Hunting Silencers - First Round Pop (Members Only)

Eight silencers evaluated by PEW Science are included in this members-only Research Supplement to examine relative First Round Pop (FRP) performance characteristics. The silencers in this group were selected for their applicability and market popularity for use as hunting silencers; silencers possessing length and/or weight characteristics making them conducive to field use on bolt-action rifles.

This research supplement is intended to provide more information to PEW Science members with regard to specific sound signature characteristics of the tested configurations and to help frame objective loudness comparisons between the eight silencers in the FRP signature regime. This supplement is part of ongoing PEW Science small arm weapon system sound signature research.

SSS.6.14 - Research Supplement: Radiant, Omega 300, and Sandman-S Further Analysis

The previous Sound Signature Reviews of the Rugged Radiant (6.12), SilencerCo Omega 300 (6.10), and Dead Air Sandman-S (6.11) presented typical sound signatures of the silencers on a .308 bolt-action rifle with an 20-inch barrel. In PEW Science testing, the Radiant achieved a Suppression Rating of 32.9 in its long configuration. The Omega 300 achieved a rating of 38.3. The Sandman-S achieved a rating of 32.6.

This members-only research supplement is intended to provide more information to PEW Science members with regard to specific sound signature characteristics of the tested configurations in the aforementioned reviews and to help frame objective loudness comparisons between the three silencers. This supplement is part of ongoing PEW Science small arm weapon system sound signature research.

SSS.6.10 - SilencerCo Omega 300 and the Savage Model 10 PC .308

The SilencerCo Omega 300 is a compact 30 caliber rifle silencer that possesses high sound signature suppression performance with measured consistency. The silencer has many mounting options, making it a relatively versatile silencer for centerfire rifle use.

In this review, the Omega 300 performance metrics depend upon suppressing a supersonic centerfire rifle cartridge; no easy task. How would the Omega 300 perform on your .308 deer rifle?
