    I really like this new offering. The only modular can I have ever liked is the surge and I will be looking at this one hard for a 308 SBR to use in the short configuration. I have enough full size .30 cans and this fits the bill of what I am after. And at 760 bucks from SS I may just order one up now.

    Well I'll be the guinea pig on this one. Ordered from SS. I'll touch back base here in 10 months and we'll see how it does.

    I’m going to call BS for those at ear dB levels. I have the Surge 762 and while effective it is not quite hearing safe. The micro is just a smaller version of the surge.

    What caliber are you referring to? All of them?

    I wish they would note what loads they used as well. Remember that they used 165gr Hush for the Obsidian 9 numbers... Kind of disappointed in that tbh

    How do you know its not “hearing safe” ( im assuming you mean below 140db)?
    Is it port side or left side if the gun?

    As general advise/recommendation to my U.S. colleagues, this is how we show the levels in our catalog, rather straight forward.

    Once we have been able to shoot samples shown in the catalogs with our B&K PULSE system, will of course update them.

    Those numbers are hard to believe for such a small can. I would like to see other measurements, at a minimum from Silencer Shop.

    First, I own the Surge 762, the Obsidian 45, and the Oculus 22 - I’m a Rugged Suppressor fan boy. Secondly, I know the Surge 762 is not hearing safe because the the shots ring my ears when I try shooting 7.62 & 5.56 thru the can causing pain. It’s is much quieter than without the can but the port pop and shot going off together is not hearing safe. That is how I know.

    The Obsidian 45 and Oculus 22 are great cans and hearing safe. The Obsidian is hearing safe with 9mm subs in long or short config, .45s in long config but I don’t like shooting .45s without earpro. Even though .45s are inherently sub-sonic they are still quit loud for my taste, hearing safe but not pleasantly. The Oculus 22 is hearing safe with all 22Lr depending on config.

    Rugged makes great cans but the dB levels cited above for the center fire rifle calibers are BS. The Military Arms Channel has a decent vid on YouTube regarding the Surge 762 that doesn’t give the at ear performance any where near the numbers quoted above. My own ears tell me that the Surge 762 is not hearing safe with .308 or 5.56. It is probably hearing safe with sub-sonic .300 Blk but I don’t have a .300 Blk to confirm.

    If using specific sub-sonic hand loaded cartridges maybe it is but the average schmo doesn’t have access to hand rolled sub-sonic centerfire rifle cartridges and those are very expensive to buy for plinking.
