What standard rifle caliber is quietest out of a 16 or so inch barrel
Hey dudes,
I'm curious. I was listening to my buddy shoot his wasr 762x39 and it seemed a lot quieter than an AR. It was still loud as hell, but much less ear piercing when standing 25 yards or so away. I have been toying with the idea of putting together a Ruger Ranch Rifle (bolt) and putting irons and a simple red dot on it as a GP/property gun. I really like the handiness of a bolt action (this is not for combat, just a rifle companion to my shotgun for dealing with pests on my property).
What is the least loud out of a 16 inch barrel? A 762x39? A 556? A 300 blackout? Something else? Anyone actually know?
Let those who are fond of blaming and finding fault, while they sit safely at home, ask, ‘Why did you not do thus and so?’I wish they were on this voyage; I well believe that another voyage of a different kind awaits them.”
