    They work very well - if you get the right one.

    The sonic boom is nothing by comparison with the noise produced by the powder igniting.

    I've just purchase two - on for my tikka 223 and one for my 243.

    They also reduce recoil - and increase muzzle velocity.

    As a comparison, I can now (although I dont) easily fire both rifles without hearing protection. If I did that without suppression, my ears would be ringing.

    I was originally going to get full overbarrels, but after talking to Greystone Guns I decided a half length overbarrel silencer instead. I had to have the barrel shortened , but ended up with a very nicely (better) balanced rifle.

    Others may have different experiences, but mine have been nothing but good.

    that's pretty good compared to what they are un-suppressed. what sort of suppressor is it?

    After getting the 308 suppressed I get everything suppressed as soon as I buy it. Don't even bother trying the rifle before hand. Now four Gunworks suppressors sitting in hunting gear.
