Not to sure these would meet OSAH standards/Levels.... But they do silence noise some what!

I have heard that a pillow placed between the barrel and head works good also.

 I've gone another way. Helps improve and protect what hearing I have remaining. Also great for keeping your ears warm. |

Pretty pricey for me. Maybe I'm just a bad hunter, but I don't see me ever taking enough shots out in the field that it'd be worth it for me.
Maybe if you've already got some hearing loss and can't risk any more.

I will have a suppressed hunting rifle at some time in my life.

I have heard that a pillow placed between the barrel and head works good also. Not saying that I am, but would it be quiet enough so the wife don't hear me shoot her. After all I don't want to wake her, she is so peaceful when she sleeps, and then she gets up. Kind of goes downhill from there. |

I have a suppressed pistol. To be honest, I'm not all that impressed with the amount of noise the suppressor eliminates and they are a real hassle as well as expensive to purchase. I won't be buying another.

I won't be buying another. ^^^ This. The only suppressed gun I've ever shot that I would consider owning is an MP5SD and I'm not spending ~$20,000.00 on a range toy that you have to carry a binder full of tax stamps to own. I have a set of good custom fit earplugs that I wear a set of full cover ears over. I shoot indoors a lot here in metro Indy and the overpressure is murder without doubling up. In the field though, You can't beat a set of electronic ears. Animal-level hearing amplification plus a noise cancelling blast of clean static when you shoot that protects your ears. Perfect if you ask me. I have another set of ear plugs designed for drag racing pit crews to wear that are also really nice in the field. I can hear normal level speech just fine and if I focus I can still hear field sounds ok too. I use those shotgunning as they muffle enough to keep my ears ok but still allow a really solid cheek weld to manage recoil and maintain sight picture. The only consistent complaint I have about ear cans is the way the screw up a proper cheek weld on some of my guns. |

Obviously no one has went squirrel hunting with a suppressed bolt gun and subsonic's before. Miss that squirrel or rabbit with the first shot! No problem they will be there for the second or third.  |

In the UK every one has a suppressor on there rifles.
That's how they got to get them easier than we can. Hearing protection!
They can get theirs the same day they pay for it. We have to wait months?!

If it ever gets easier/cheaper to get one, I'll probably set up all of my ARs with suppressors. I just hate the look of a big ugly suppressor on a pretty wood stocked rifle; I'll never commit that sin.
