...Is not what I am looking for.
I am getting ready to make my 1st purchase and trting to do my homework. I've read tons of threads about suppressors and most are saying the sane thing. "I have a thunderbeast ultra and it's great"; "I have an omega 30 and I love it"...
I don't see anyone really complaining about their suppressor, which tells me that people seem to be satisfied with whatever they purchase - all good news.
But, outside of that it doesn't tell me much about the differences between the various products on the market. Ryan Avery, if you read this, I think it would be a great idea for Rokslide to do a hunting suppressor review from the perspective of the mtn hunter! These are large purchases, and you really can't "try it before you buy it" due to a the regulations. And, since it is such a PITA to acquire, you are kind of stuck with what you get, so it's nerve racking for 1st time buyers like me that want to make the best decision possible.
Back to my question. Hoping someone else has faced this and can help me at least narrow down the field. I am not looking for the most quiet one out there. I am looking for the SHORTEST and the LIGHTEST model that will be just good enough to get me down to (or close to) hearing safe levels (in a 300WSM) so that I don't have to wear/carry/remember hearing protection while hunting. I'm shooting a CA Ridgeline. Its got a 24" barrel that I can't shorten, so I would prefer not to hang a 9" can off the end of it if I don't need to. I really just want to be able to enjoy the recoil reduction that my break provides without needing to hunt with hearing protection. Trying to save the hearing I have left (Funny how that suddenly becomes more of a priority once you hit your mid 40's.)
I'm hoping that some of you can provide me some direction based off of that perspective? Thanks in advance for all the help you guys provide. I'm always learning from the collective knowledge on this site.
