Quietest .308 Suppressor

Although it’s designed for .300 Blackout, the SOCOM 300 SPS by SureFire is one of the quietest .308 suppressors available. The SOCOM 300 SPS owes its supreme noise reduction to a specialized V-shaped baffle. These unique baffles create a longer dwell time in the suppressor. The high-temperature stainless steel alloy offers incredible durability through full-automatic fire. M4Carbine.net forum useres have reported a volume of just 120 dB with subsonic 300 Blk and 129 dB with .308 subsonics.
