I'm starting the process of getting a suppressor or silencer for hunting and target shooting purposes, and I am overwhelmed by suppressor manufacturers... most of which seem way too tactical for my purpose. Can anyone point me to a small number of suppressor manufacturer recommendations, which ones work the best in a hunting and target shooting situation?

Supposedly it is legal in some states. Commiefornia and Fascist New York you can hold your hand on your butt. Here is the best site I could find on the issue.

Buy a cheap one..not much difference in actual field performance. The expensive ones are like designer jeans, cost more but Carhartts work just as well.Somewhere along the way I have lost the ability to act politically correct. If you should find it, please feel free to keep it.

Go talk with Steve at Alaska Tactical on Muldoon, he can walk you through it.
Which can is "not so tactical" doesn't matter. They have a simple job to do and these days they are all so similar it doesn't really matter which brand. There may be warranty differences to consider but the rest is fluff. I look at weight and $

I've been a bit interested in one. A friend of mine in England reports it's considered essential and nearly every centerfire rifle has one over there.
I watched some video of him shooting his .270 with the suppressor fitted... not as loud as a plain muzzle but still pretty darn loud."I do not deal in hypotheticals. The world, as it is, is vexing enough..." Col. Stonehill, True Grit

Supressors are required in some countries/areas. They are favored in populated areas and in Africa because it aids the PH in hearing the hit.
They make alot of sense to protect hearing so you don't end up like me, hearing loss and hearing aids and getting worse with age. Funny they make us wear seatbelts but we can' t protect our hearing because someone MIGHT break the law.
When I was looking at New Zealand for hunting, I can carry my gun into a shop, and $700 later walk out with a supressor, barrel threaded ready to shoot. Not in this country, 6-8 month wait and $3000 later..... under suspicion becuase I followed the law...
